Tria Orthopaedic Center previews today’s Cannon Falls Road Race stage of The Nature Valley Grand Prix.
As always you can also see more about the stages at the official web site of the Minnesota Bicycle Festival. You can also follow the action on twitter.
Results from today’s stage will be posted as soon as I can get to it.
Results from yesterday:
The Star Tribune posts the results of yesterday morning’s first stage TT of The Nature Valley Grand Prix.

Look at the news story link, and try to keep from barfing when you see the wide road shoulder littered with bike parts and two helmets. See if you can control yourself when you read the comments of “bikers are asking for this this when they ride on the roads.”
Anger, sadness and frightare the oly emotions I can describe right now. This is the hazard we’re all exposed to. Think of the odds for racers putting 10-15-20,000 miles a year on their bikes so we can be entertained by the sport of bike racing.
Then we treat them with “justice” at the hands of the anti-doping movement? Hell, you’d have to be on anti-psychotic drugs to even condier taking this up as a profession.
/very upset right now
eightzero,
That’s a heartbreaking story. Things like that should never happen. And anyone who makes the kind of comments you quoted (I didn’t look at the comments for the TulsaWorld.com article) is basically a shithead who doesn’t know, care or understand that we have an equal right to the road.
I’m sad, frustrated and angered beyond belief right now. Argh!
Such comments are not all that uncommon, unfortunately. Apparently shortly before I moved to Columbia in September 2005, there was a fatal accident on a rural road outside of the city. There were numerous remarks in the Tribune, with the least offensive being the “bikes and cars don’t mix sort” and progressing up from there.
