| Babler Circuit Race has been postponed |
Jeff Robinson, Park Director at Babler State Park, is postponing the Babler race due to weather damage:
1) The heavy rains over the last month have flooded the creek and the only area available for race parking. The field was drying out, but the rain last night flooded the area again. Vehicles cannot make it into the field, and there is no other safe place to park everyone for the race.
2) Debris from trees caused by the rains have again covered the roads. Due to budget cuts from the state, the park does not have the manpower to get it cleaned up in time for the race. This becomes a safety issue.
3) Parts of the park, including the office, are currently without power.
4) The possibility (low though it is right now) of thunderstorms tomorrow may make all of the above worse.
This postponement is the decision of the Park Director -- he is responsible for the park and the safety of the users (including us). Jeff and the St. Louis County Police in Wildwood have been very supportive of the event. We are all committed to making up the race, we have a couple potential open Sundays on the MOBRA calendar in July and August when it will be cooler and hopefully the mosquitoes will have all died. Jeff will let me know early in the week what dates will fit into the park calendar for the race make-up, and I'll get further word out then. |

| Rolla Crit is Canceled |
The criterium scheduled for today at Fort Leonard Wood has been canceled.
Participants and Volunteers,
I was informed at approximately 2:15 p.m. that the Command Staff at Fort Leonard Wood had effectively cancelled the Hellbender Criterium, which was to be held on Saturday, May 15, 2010. The cancellation was made for weather related reasons and safety of the riders. This decision was completely out of our control. We were not even allowed a chance to plead our case for delaying the cancellation until the morning of the 15th to get a more accurate account of the weather. While the Chief Referee is generally tasked with making these sorts of calls, we also must defer to the host, which in this case is Fort Leonard Wood Army Base.
While the Criterium has been cancelled the Road Race WILL BE heldon Sunday, May 16, 2010 at Newburg, MO. With that being said…if there is one bit of good news in this scenario, it is this: Thetotal prize purse of $4100.00 will now be awarded for one race, The Hellbender Road Race in Newburg, MO on Sunday.
We are currently in the process of contacting all pre registered Criterium racers to inform them of the events. We are offering two options for the pre registered Criterium racers:- A partial refund of the race fee (refund minus a handling fee) or
- The Criterium race fee can be transferred to the Road Race.
A newly calculated prize purse reflecting the upgrade of $4100.00 will soon be posted to www.stlbiking.com.
Thanks for your patience. Please feel free to contact me with your questions or concerns.
