Last night we saw a sporting debacle of the first order. But enough about the Canucks.

You've all met Galen, right? He's not the guy who got most hurt in last night's crashy festivities, and his bike wasn't the most wrecked, either.

"dEVo took only 7 juniors to Tour de Bloom and won the omnium in 4 of the 5 categries they entered. They were a green machine."

In other news, WTNC starts this Tuesday, and Sportif #2 is on the weekend. We have a few notes for you.

So, we did some figuring, and we're announcing a last-minute change to the start times for the crit and TT events on Saturday. This will make your life a bit more pleasant, and your day a bit shorter, but do pay attention so you're not in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The crit start times are all 30 minutes later. So the Youth race starts at 9:30, C/Novice at 10:00, B at 11:00, and A at 12:00.

The TT times are all 1 hour earlier! So the first TT start is 3:00 pm.

We've been a little too low-key about publicizing this, but there WILL be junior categories on Saturday at the Wix Brown Spring Series race. UPDATE: junior race on Sunday too! You know, for kids!

We will set fields based on the number of entries we have, but if we get enough entries, we will split out U19, U17, U15, and U13 fields. Distances TBA, but they will be age-appropriate.

Racing starts on the novice schedule: after the C race ends, approximately 12:30. Usual Junior pricing: $20.

For 2013, we've decided to make winning one of our races just a little more sweet. How do we do that? With a winner's jersey.

In select Spring Series and Sportif races this year, and for the Junior Stage Race and as the WTNC overall prize, we will be awarding a new and soon-to-be-coveted Orange Jersey to the juiciest rider. By which we mean the race winner. This isn't some judge's prize, or silly combativity award for Most Useless Breakaway. IT'S FOR WINNERS! SECOND GETS NOTHING! Well, except the prizes for second place, which are sometimes pretty good.
