    2014 Mass Ave Criterium

    Took the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather today and head Downtown to watch some of the Mass Avenue Criterium races.  It runs from Noon until around 9PM with all levels of racing including some public rides on the closed course.

    I’m a guy & most guys like racing of some form or another.  I used to be fascinated with Indy Cars & then started following NASCAR.  My latest obsession is Formula One (F1).  I used to watch F1 years ago but it got to the point where unless the Pole Position driver crashed he normally…
