Chamois Butt'r Way Barriers Removed

The artificial barriers in “Chamois Butt’r Way” were removed following the first race Friday morning over concerns about the competitors’ safety.

Icy, hardened ground made it dangerous for competitors to negotiate the two six-inch high wooden barriers that run parallel to the Expo tent, so USA Cycling officials made the decision to remove them.

Pending an afternoon warm-up, the barriers may be put back in place for races later in the day.
