Critters,

I just heard from the county and they cannot get the permit for tonight, but feel pretty confident they can get it by next week 9/14.  
If you still want to do a crit, I have a course that I think will be OK.  It will NOT be closed, I have NO permit, but there are very few cars back there.  We can still do a little crit, if you are game.  It is kind of a fun course and it will be interesting to check it out.  It will be on Crick Dr and and Hawking Dr.  We will just do a voluntary contribution or $10 instead of the normal $15 as it is less of a service.  I will still score it like normal, and we will do our normal schedule.  

Meet here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/35%C2%B000'01.1%22N+106%C2%B036'57.5%22W/@35.0003056,-106.6181609,858m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d35.0002906!4d-106.6159628?hl=en

A note on Mexican Crits.  I received comment that this term could be possibly interpreted as some kind of a slur.  It is, as far as I understand, a general term like rather like "German potato salad."  It indicates a different style which in not superior or inferior to our American style, just different.  It is just how the Mexican cycling community organizes often cycling events.  I have done several in Mexico that were very cool bike races.  However, if you are Mexican, and consider this offensive, let me know.  

Best Regards,
