Butler Wobble

Thanks again to all who made it out to the 2010 Butler County Stage Race www.butlercountystagerace.blogspot.com . Hopefully you've been finding the pictures and writeups you've be craving. If not, here's a few: Carl's writeup at Unicyclist.com , Fred Jordan's pics , Ben Stephen's Photos , Deb Rittelman's photos . A HUGE thanks to Butler Health System for sponsoring the overall event. Likewise, a huge thanks to Speedgoat.com, Unicycle.com, and ProBikes for donating the unicycle prizes. We (the Butler Wobble) are looking forward to hosting more events in the near and distant future. Keep checking this site for more details!

PLEASE be sure to send your thanks out to our sponsors as we're hoping to do this again at the same time next year! (If you're having a hard time reading the results, click the image).

Here's Saturday: Sorry about the delay in getting the results up. Getting blogspot and Microsoft to agree is harder than unicycling. (If you can't read the image get glasses or just click on it to make it bigger.)

I've heard several concerns about tomorrow's weather for the prerides. Right now the chance of rain is listed at 20%. If it is pouring and you can't find us head to the Grand Ballroom in Cornerstone Commons (race HQ). Check in at the unicycle table and Lisa will give you a way to get a hold of us. Also an FYI, we're planning on dinner after registration at Pizza Joe's on Main St. We can get a group rate on pizza or you can order off of the menu. They're able and willing to accomodate us! See, some businesses like people coming into town.

Unis have 2 options: A. 3 Race Series- Time Trial, Criterium, and Road Race. $30 total registration fee. Greater than 29in wheel required. Good prizes and swag. 1,2, or 3 lap options for the Road Race. Total elapsed time will determine final standings for the series. Saturday's races are on closed courses, but Sunday's is on an open road course. All rules of the road must be obeyed. Riders should wear a bright colored jersey on Sunday. A rearview mirror is a good idea for the Road Race. A brake isn't required, but it's also a good idea. (Note- If you have a 36er you can choose to pay the $30 and do events ala carte too). B. Crit B only option: A "fun" 29in and under criterium for anyone who can ride a uni. Some prizes and a bit of swag, but not as much as the series racers get. Exceptions to these options must be cleared with Dave in advance. Registration for the 3 race series is Friday night. You may be able to register Saturday morning for the 3 ...

After preriding the Rás course today (day 2 of BCSR - the 18th) we decided that it might be a good idea to preview "the hill" before the race for those not familiar with the area. Why? because in the words of Krusty the Clown- "Gravity is a harsh mistress." It's steep, but rideable although some may argue with me on that. SO- Friday the 16th we're going to meet in Renfrew, PA by the Post Office at 4:30 pm to take a peek. You can go there anytime you want as the roads are public, but it might be nice to get all unis together for a trip up the beast. Our tenative Friday the 16th schedule looks something like this: 4:30pm -Rás Preview (mainly focusing on the big climb. It was agreed on today's preride that the rest of the course is pretty standard, so after a trip or two up we'll probably pile in a few cars and take a drive around the course. 6pm -Downtown tour. We'll preview the TT and crit course the best we can without actually riding Main S...
