elcome to the Mass Ave Criterium — the MAC, as we call it — an urban bike race through the streets of one of the most beautiful parts of Indy.
“Crit” races are exciting spectacles, short-course races that require strategy, skill and stamina from the riders you’ll see flying by you. The Mass Ave course’s triangular shape and tight corners – especially around what we lovingly call the “Dancing Lady” — have made the MAC famous the E Michigan St world over. As the riders pedal past, you’ll be able to find Cir N Lockerbie vantage points along the course so close to the action that spectators can feel the drafts generated by the cyclists. Lockerbie Cir S
Beyond a full day of watching some of the most exciting bike racing you’ll ever see, the MAC also brings you a beer garden from our friends at New Belgium E Vermont Pl Brewing, great deals from our vendors and sponsors and participation from a variety of Mass Ave merchants offering MAC-day specials. There’s food, too! Grab a beer, maybe do a little shopping, but most importantly, enjoy watching some of the best bicycle racers in America corner, attack and break away from the pack as they compete for over $10,000 in cash and other prizes, too. This year, the top prizes in BOTH the men’s and women’s categories are $1,999 (first prize for Men Categories 1/2 and Women 1/2/3).

he boiling August sun reflects off the hot parking lot asphalt, making me sweat through my already saltencrusted jersey. Dozens of bike racers surround me, all warming up on stationary rollers, loosening their legs and revving their biological engines. Our legs are in motion, but so are our minds — we’re all dreaming of crossing the finish line and becoming the 2014 Mass Ave Criterium champion. After a quick warm-up, it’s time to roll to the start line. I size up the other racers’ bikes and legs through my iridescent Oakley sunglasses as the officials check our numbers. This course is extra challenging with its tight corners and long finishing straightaway, but it suits me. I
breathe away the nerves and uncertainty that creeps into my brain and focus on what I’m about to do. Inside, I’m calm and amped at the same time. I’m alert and relaxed. I’m in my zone. I’m ready. And we’re off. So what’s it like being in the middle of a bike race? Racers pedal at speeds upwards of 25 miles an hour around a small, Downtown loop on Massachusetts Avenue. Vying for position in the large field, riders bump elbows and tap wheels, taking the corners hot and the straightaways hotter. It takes a whole lot of bike handling and confidence to follow a wheel inches in front of your own, and some quick maneuvering if that rider crashes. On top of all that, a rider’s awareness must extend to the state of the race itself – when are people tired? How am I feeling? Who has a good sprint? Who can

take a long, hard ride alone? Where is the wind coming from? How many laps are left? Why does that guy have a hole in his pants? Chunkchunkchunk! I hear someone’s bike shift into a faster gear, and instinctually do the same as I see rider Chloe Dygert come shooting up the left side of the field. Oh crap, I think, we can’t let her go. Chloe gets a good distance away from the field, and I’m getting nervous. If we don’t catch her, she is definitely strong enough to win this thing alone. I know this and so does everyone else. Natural powerhouse that she is, her blue-and-white Team Twenty16 jersey is usually seen way up in front of the field. Off the bike, she’s a friend, but there’s no way I’m letting her get away. The rest of the field look around at each other, uncertain of whether to counter such an
early move, and then decidedly fall into a single paceline, trying to match her speed and tuck in behind our opponents, using them to break the wind in order to expend a little less effort. I hop on a wheel and join the chase. The chase is led by Sierra Siebenlist, a fellow Hoosier with some serious spark — and a flame that might just burn long enough to spoil Dygert’s attack. I see her red and black Scarlett Fire Racing Team jersey up ahead as we charge down the straightaway and feel confident this run won’t last long. Sure enough, as soon as we make connection with Dygert, Siebenlist’s teammate Beth Engwis attacks, sprinting away from the field and putting the pressure on us to chase her down. I ignore the burning in my legs and lungs and pick up the speed. Passing under the finishing ban-
call those spandex duds we wear), and run through the course to the wheel pit. Relief fills my stomach when I see our Marian University team mechanic Michael Kubancsek standing under the tent. He asks me if I’m OK, and I nod. Calmly but at lightning speed, he gives my bike a once-over, then brushes the dirt off my shoulder. He holds the bike by the saddle, and I get on. “Breathe,” he reminds me. I take a cleansing breath, letting all the stress and surprise from crashing escape. The field comes by and he gives me a giant shove. I’m back in. That was cutting it pretty close, because now the lap counter reads “8” — only eight more laps to go in the race. Had I crashed one lap later, I wouldn’t have been able to rejoin the race. I do my best to calm my jitters and refocus before the final massive rush to the finish line. Teams The pavement burns a hole begin to set up their leadouts; find each other and get through my spandex and scrapes they organized. The rider who can take a longer, stronger pull my backside raw. gets in front of the rider with a hot, snappy sprint and pulls them to where they need to be in the field to finish — right up front. give it up that easily, I match their speed Rounding the last corner, the racers and it makes me dizzy with effort. We are intentionally positioned for the final come tearing through the first corner at sprint. Bikes rocking, elbows knocking, a pace that feels a little hotter than any pain faces bared in all their glory — we’re of the previous laps. I hear the squeal of all pushing every last bit of power we last-minute braking in front of me and have left into our pedals as we drag race cut the corner a little sharp, immediately towards the finish line. Sierra lights it regretting it. Ohnoohnoohno, I cringe, trying to shift up again, putting some space between my weight to compensate for the amount herself and the rest of the field, shoving her wheel across the finish line and winmy bike is leaning into the turn. But it’s ning by a good margin.

Slowly moving to the front of the pack, I set myself up to be the third rider through the last corner. When the line is in sight, I let it rip. I shift my bike into a faster gear and throw all my power into sprinting towards it. But Beth pours on the steam and hangs onto it by inches, scoring herself 50 dollars. Holy smokes, that hurt. I slow down and drop back into the pack of riders. Somebody up front decides to take advantage of the fact some of us just sprinted ourselves silly and hits the gas after we cross the line.

Racers in their natural habitat Crit bikers are broken down into different categories, or “cats” that reflect their level of skill and experience. The lower the number, the more skilled the racer. Here’s a quick guide to figure out who’s who.
Cat 5
Fans can typically identify the Cat 5 racer either by their black shorts (topped by a U.S. Postal or Garmin jersey), copious body hair or the reflectors on their bikes. Taking their cue from their Tour de France heroes, many of the Cat 5 riders will attempt a dramatic solo breakaway during the race, only to be mistakenly chased down by their own teammates.
Cat 4
Most Cat 4 riders have shed their fur, replacing it with a local team kit, usually Team Nebo Ridge. Don’t speak or move too suddenly or you’ll likely spook the Cat 4 racer, causing him to crash into the rider next to him. Afterward, the Cat 4 racer will berate the other rider for not holding his line. Brags about being sponsored to his friends; sponsorship extends to a free water bottle and 5 percent off major purchases.

Cat 3 Leaner and marked by the scars of multiple Cat 4 crashes, the Cat 3 rider can often be found sidling up beside the Pro/1/2 riders before and after races, angling for a team invite. While watching the Cat 4 race, the Cat 3 will often roll his eyes or otherwise show obvious disdain for the riders he had been racing against just last month. Cat 2 Many Cat 2 riders have a shell-shocked look in their eyes; used to dominating the Cat 3, now they are desperately trying to hang on to back of the pack. When approaching a Cat 2 racer, keep any and all food items hidden; they are desperately trying to cut weight before their next category upgrade and are so delirious with hunger, they will likely devour your burrito along with the hand you were holding it in.
Cat 1/ Pro
Pro/Cat 1 riders can be found during pre-race warm-up laps riding no-handed and bitching about other local riders they suspect are doping. During the race, the Pro riders will go all out for food primes (extra prizes), as the money they earn from their domestic race team equals out to less than minimum wage.

Masters 50+
Distinguished by the graying hair under their helmet and arms leathered by too many races with no sunscreen, these once-proud riders can be found in the middle of the pack, barking orders at younger riders to chase down the latest breakaway. Avoid one-on-one encounters with the Masters 50+ racer lest you have to listen to a 20-minute story about a 1996 breakaway with “that bastard” Steve Tilford.

PREDICTIONS BY R O B ER T A NNIS A ND R IL E Y MISSE L
Men Pro 1/2 ROB: This is going to be yet another race stacked with talent. I’m disappointed Scott Baumer won’t be racing this year, as he’s still out with a broken collarbone. We’re teammates on the Shamrock Cycles cyclocross team, although there’s a pretty big talent discrepancy between the two of us; Scott might be faster, but unlike him, I can actually ride over sticks. RILEY: Josh Johnson is getting married the day before. Katie, his soon-to-be wife, will be there watching and cheering him on with that sparkly rock on her hand. He’s been riding so well for so long, I honestly can’t say how she’d take it if he didn’t do well. Jojo might have to pedal back to Ft. Wayne if he doesn’t bring home the bacon to his wife. ROB: For me, the race is secondary to the legendary social-media battle between Bissell-ABG-Giant Adam Leibovitz, the three-time winner of Indy Crit, and Texas Roadhouse’s Chad Burdzilauskas, who has come in second at Mass Ave for the last three years in a row. RILEY: Chad needs to do less training at the Triton Tap so he can break his second place streak and actually get in the finishing frame of Leibo’s GoPro video! Unfortunately for the Burd-man, I think Adam continues his winning ways, with Chad, Colton and Jojo giving him a run for his money. ROB: Texas Roadhouse’s Kyle Perry had a nice string of victories earlier this
season, and earned a top-10 placing at Indy Crit. I can see him on the podium, maybe even on the top step. The same goes for his teammate Colton Barrett, assuming he’s in town. If Chad doesn’t burn all of his matches helping his teammates, he can make the podium yet again. Adam’s almost definitely going to be in that mix. PREDICTIONS ROB: (Podium, in no particular order) Perry, Leibovitz, Barrett RILEY: (Podium, in no particular order) Leibovitz, Johnson, Burdzilauskas
men Masters 40+ men Masters 50+ ROB ANNIS: This is the race that typically has the fewest crashes, despite all the puddles of Ben Gay scattered across the course. Do you have a favorite in the race? RILEY MISSELL: I’m required to say Dean (Peterson, Riley’s Marian University coach). We have an obligatory Dean cheering section. We might even make t-shirts this year. ROB: Is that mandatory? Will he revoke your scholarship if you’re not there to cheer him on or if you don’t compliment his racing afterward?
M6 MASS AVE CRITERIUM // 08.01.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO
RILEY: Ha. He’s actually pretty humble about his racing. … I think he appreciates us being there and complimenting him afterwards, so I do, just to be on the safe side. ROB: I was going to pick Harry Clark for the 40+ podium, but he joked he was racing the single-speed category. Good luck on your new career at Jimmy John’s, Harry! Due to his lack of cut-off jean shorts and full arm sleeve of tattoos, I think he’s stuck in the master’s race, though. Either way, I’m picking his teammate Chris Richter for the win in the 40+ race.
PREDICTIONS ROB: 40+ Chris Richter, Team Heroes/ 50+ Jim Creamer, Team Heroes RILEY: 40+ Andrzej Banaszkiewicz, Bissell-ABG-Giant/ 50+ Dean Peterson, Zipp Factory Racing
Women Category 1/2/3 ROB: Riley, you’ll be racing in this field. How do you like your chances? RILEY: Thank goodness Bri Clark will be back, so we have some First Internet Bank ladies to follow around on the course! I personally have never beaten Sierra Siebenlist. She knows her strengths and uses them pretty well. I think I could beat her in a short sprint, but she usu-
ally likes to take a flyer on the last lap or so, and I’ve never actually jumped on her. I beat Bri in a windy crit, mostly by good timing. I haven’t seen either of them all summer, but they are both usually pretty strong, and I’m not exactly in tip-top shape, so I’ll have to be smart if I want to do it again. ROB: I heard Chloe Dygart won’t be racing this year. How is it competing against her? How do the dynamics of the race change when she’s not in the field? RILEY: The few races I’ve competed against her in the past year were like she wasn’t even there; she just went off the front alone, and there were only a few weak attempts to chase her down. Once, I honestly thought I got second, but then I remembered she finished about 5 minutes earlier! Without her, it’ll be a more even playing field, which makes for a more interesting, dynamic race in my opinion. More people can play because we aren’t just chasing.
