One of the unsung heroes of the Ballard Crit is none other than Erik Brihagen. He has been the backbone of the course setup for 5 years. A king of logistics, he has single-handedly lead the Ballard Crit course setup and tear down crews over these years. Through his leadershi…

Primes. Pronounced "preems". A type of mid-race prize that is used to promote local businesses. Or liven things up. Or screw up a breakaway. Or annoy the people at the back of the race, who were barely holding on after the 2nd one and "dear-god-they- are-back-to-back-what-ki…

Welcome to our first rider spotlight.

Equality is the goal, equity is how we get there. Cycling doesn't need more rich white guys. Look at the line up of any given race around the world and you can see who is represented. We can do better. @apexracingseattle, the team that …

If you are a cat 1/2 in either the women's or mens field and held off in case if rain, you are going to be disappointed. You still have time to come and get some $$$

Big up to @stoupbrewing for their support. Fantastic brewery with some fantastic people at the helm. I was just going through the box of primes and swag and you can paint me peanut butter and jelly over one of them in particular. Redic.

Again, can we knock it off with this …

Sandwich Prime! SANDWICH PRIME! FREAKING SANDWICH PRIME!! I am currently in Ballard picking up the last of the primes and picked up a few from @othercoastcafe which is pretty much a default spot for hungry racers. I promised myself I would not steal a prime and eat it, but w…
