Crits are stupid

Occasionally on a tuesday evening I'll do a noce recovery ride out to the RMR to watch the local heroes dice it out in the 'Training' crit. Reality is that most of the riders there put more effort/risk etc.. into these races than the weekend ones. I used to do them as they were great training, but i witnessed wy to many accidents, tonight while watching the b-flite, in a big group, wind it up in the 1/4 mile straight away, I witnessed more carnage, several riders went down, lookd like one frame was a victim and who knows how much skin and bloofd was donated, I hope everyone was alright, but I got my bi-annual reminder of why crits are dumb
