Who here races, races weeknight crits, etc?

I am the race director for the Tuesday Night Crits in Richardson.

I do (or at least I try to). I did TNC a few times last year and then would jump on Pop afterwards. A little more risk adverse this year after my incident last year and my trip to the Pyrenees in August, so I probably will avoid crits this year. Will still try to hit a few road races if my schedule allows.

I try to keep it safe and clean. After the 4/11 wreck last year, we tried very hard to keep all the riders' attention on safety.

If you raced last year, you have a new cloth bib number with your name on it this year.

Oh for sure. Just to be clear, I never had any problems at the TNC... other than finishing mid to back of the pack, but these were my first real crits so still in a learning mode.

I want to try a crit someday but I've never raced on a road bike before (did TMBRA for a few years a decade ago) and it seems like I have a ways to go to reach a baseline fitness to hang in a Novice race.
