2008 Downtown Sioux Falls Criterium / South Dakota Criterium State Championships

Online registration has now been opened for the 2008 Downtown Sioux Falls Criterium / South Dakota Criterium State Championships. A lot of planning has gone in to the races to provide a safe and exciting event. I hope to see everyone there as a racer or spectator. Team managers, please tell your Cat 5 racer to make sure they pre-register. We expect the Men 5 field to fill the maximum of 50 and I don't want anyone to bank on day of registration if it fills up. The online registration link can be found here:

New Bike Lane in Sioux Falls

Things can get better for cyclists. They won't happen over night. Thank you to everyone that has voiced their concern to the City of Sioux Falls. Thank you Sioux Falls for listening.

East 41st Street Parking to be Removed
and Bicycle Lane to be Added

Sioux Falls, South Dakota: The City of Sioux Falls will be adding a bicycle lane on both sides of East 41st Street from Southeastern Avenue to the Harmodon Park entrance—41st Street has been recently asphalt-resurfaced from Bahnson Avenue to SD Hwy 11. Temporary raised pavement markers will be placed as a part of a resurfacing project on East 41st Street.
In the next month, permanent lane striping will be completed including a five-foot dedicated bicycle lane on both sides of 41st Street. To facilitate adding the bicycle lanes, on-street parking will be removed on both sides of East 41st Street between Southeastern Avenue and Sycamore Avenue.
In addition, 41st Street from Sycamore Avenue to SD Hwy 11 will be changed from a two-lane section with a continuous turn lane to a two-lane section with a five-foot dedicated bike lane on both sides of 41st Street.
These changes are being implemented as recommended in the City of Sioux Falls Bicycle Plan.
