This past Sunday (Aug 12) the city of San Luis Obispo hosted/sponsored the Criterion Bike Race – an all day event. The race was held in the downtown area and quite a number of streets were blocked off to traffic. The course itself was laid out in such a way the cyclists made both left and right hand turns each lap. Nonetheless, the course itself was roughly circular in shape. The race wasn’t exactly one race, but rather a series of smaller races – one right after the other.
I watched the race for several laps, but then find myself getting bored watching them just go round and round so I caught a bus to one of the fast food restaurants to grab a cup of coffee and a couple of breakfast sandwiches. While on the bus I couldn’t help but think that many homeless people are also in a type of race that just goes round and round. (more…)
