Podcast #42 - Northfield, Hamel, Sprinter’s Classic, Hopkins Crit, Chip Timing

Lemond and Flanders
Greg Lemond and Jim Flanders in the Hopkins Criterium circa 1977.

Rookie heroically pulls himself out of bed to stir the podcast pot and calls Timmer a McF’er.  Something for everyone in this one.  Homme, Hayes, and Frye recap the Northfield Criterium and the Hamel TT, preview the Hopkins Criterium, Chip Timing trial at the Summit/Hollywood Criterium, track racing, race schedule, race categories, WWHD (What Would Homme Do), Sprinter’s Classic, Tour of Granite Country Stage Race, and on and on and on it goes.

We failed to mention our new sponsor, World Cycling Productions.  We’re very happy to have them on board!  Please click the link and use the bikethrow discount code to help support bikethrow.com.

    The picture is from the Kenwood Criterium around Kenwood Park circa 1980.
    Although the Hopkins (Raspberry Fest) Criterium is a great race with a great history Greg never raced there.
    Thanks for posting the picture though!

    A few thoughts just came into my head.

    1) Homme just got schooled by the legendary Jim Flanders.

    2) Jim Flanders reads bikethrow.com

    3) We have reached the pinnacle.

    Thanks for reading Jim!

    What if you found out that LeMond reads bikethrow? Would that be the new pinnacle?

    These are from the 1991 race. Ken Woods was the official, in all white, eschewing the blue shirt.

    So I asked Greg LeMond if he reads Bikethrow.com yesterday. Unfortunately, he’d never heard of it.

    But he asked me about it, so now he definitely knows the address of bikethrow dot com.

    And yes, it was awesome. He had lots of stories about when he went he first went to Europe, and lots of stories in general.
