Prospect Criterium Update! Growing prize list and free drink primes!
The no-parking signs are in place, the prizes are sorted, and the town is ready. The Inaugural Prospect Criterium is scheduled for tomorrow, August 9th and we have some exciting announcements to make…
- Our original prize list has been blown out of the water. Starting with an estimated $10,000 in merchandise, we have now INCREASED the prize list to over $15,000 in merchandise and CASH! Thanks to our generous sponsors listed at the end of this post!
- Do you like Vic’s?? As the co-presenting sponsor, Vic’s Espresso is going to have FREE DRINK PRIMES for EVERY OTHER LAP in the SM1/2 and SW1/2/3 race! We estimate that’ll add up to almost 120 free drinks handed out during these 2 races combined. Whitey (part owner of the Prospect Vic’s) kept saying, “Ya, that’ll get a buzz going…” We eventually had to point out the double meaning for him - too much race planning makes for a tired mind.
- Like The Rio?? We have fifteen, $50 gift certificates to the Rio for primes to hand out ($750)! By my math, that’s 8 margs…and if you haven’t tried the new pomegranite margarita yet, you’re missing out. Hangover fighting anti-oxidants in the drink, how great is that.
- Show me the money! The following categories will have CASH in addition to merchandise (keep in mind this is entirely at our sponsors’ request as to where their dollars went): SM1/2, SW1/2/3, SM 35+/Cat 4, M55+, and M45+.
- Lance Armstrong is racing tomorrow!!*
- We are using computer generated results. This will keep things moving along quickly!
- Signup today and make your mark on the first ever Prospect Criterium! Pre-registration closes tonight at Midnight on Bikereg.com.
Thank you to our many sponsors!

My Mom is “Young and Sexy”?! And she’s gonna kill me!
So, despite being threatened that if I put this on here my mother would kill me (she showed me the knife), I figure its probably worth it. Before I do, a little background…
My mom, Barbara Bingham, who is also my personal manager and life support was on a little show called Mr. Rogers Neighborhood pre-bradbinghambirth. I saw the show when I was little (not like allen little but young), but did not realize how amazing the episode was until just recently (probably because of how mature I’ve become). Because my entire family now has iphones, we actually never talk (why would we?) and when I was bored today I thought I would do a quick youtube search or Mr. Rogers episodes. While looking through the thumbnail pictures of the video’s, I see my mom in a photo, with the title of the video being “Young and Sexy.” Here is the video:
Apparently there’s some creepy guy out there, besides some of the guys on Team Rio Grande, that thought my mom was young and sexy. If I find you (and if i’m not dead from my mom yet), I’m going to punch you right in the nuts.
Anyways, it was nice knowing you and being a part of Team Rio Grande.
-Brad Bingham
