The women's race is Friday afternoon and there are far more people partying and drinking than attending the race. It's no surprise-- women's sports at IU are usually treated like a side note. When I was out riding on Thursday, the ladies from Teter blew by me like a leg-powered locomotive. It was impressive to see.

HillSlug: the road race in Breaking Away is not related to the Little 500. Team Cinzano comes to Indianapolis and Dave Stoeller trains to go race with them. He holds his own, but has his innocence shattered when one of the Italian riders stuffs his frame pump into Dave's front wheel, causing him to crash. This is one of my favorite things to watch when I'm on the trainer.
