If you have a few extra minutes, you should check this out. It shows you what the human spirit is all about. Taking risks sometimes can be beautiful.

The Tour of Lawrence is this weekend, starting Friday night with street sprints in downtown Lawrence. The pre-registration closes tomorrow morning, but you can register on site, of course. If you don’t have any plans, or if you even do have plans, this race is one not to be missed. It is very rare to get the venues as special as these to race bikes on nowadays. The KU Campus Circuit race on Saturday is an unbelievable course, threading up and down Mt. Oread, through the KU campus. It is super hard. Then racing in downtown, on Mass. St. on Sunday is about as good as it gets for racing here in Kansas. Lawrence is a very cool place just to hang, so like I said above, if you can make it, you should.
