The hell? Crystal City - The most poorly planned bicycle race course ever (Vimeo video). By way of this Fark link, passed along to me by Shadow.
Charlene and I have volunteered as course marshals, and beyond the obvious idiocy of a figure 8 race track (using your favorite search engine to find results for "figure 8 school bus racing" and then suggesting why that might not be a good idea for a bicycle course is left as an exercise to the reader) two things immediately leap out: First, WTF was the course designer thinking, using a course marshal where they needed at least cones or hay bales, second, WTF was the the course marshal doing on the course without at least a bright orange vest?
More in this article, apparently the race was the Crystal City Arlington Virginia Air Force Cycling Classic.
