80.1	Address for Boston Road Club	HARDY::CONNELL		`Thu Jun 12 1986 14:28`	3
	That address for the Boston Road Club is me. So feel free to direct questions here.
80.2	More info on the Newton Sunday morning races.	NUWAVE::HATCHER		`Fri Jun 13 1986 14:31`	15
	I have wondered about those "beginners" races in Newton. Can you tell me more about them, such as: o How long are the races? o How "beginner" is beginner? o What pace do these people ride? I would like to get into racing, but I don't want to embarrass myself. I have raced in four triathlons, but never a real bike race. Thanks Bob Hatcher
80.3		HARDY::CONNELL		`Fri Jun 13 1986 17:23`	16
	The beginner race starts at 8:30 (contrary to some info), you should get there about 8:15 to sign up. It costs about $2 - $3. Most have a hard shell helmet. So much for boring details.. It really is a beginner race. It starts with a clinic that is not a race at all. The clinic proceeds at a slow pace for several miles (laps) with an experienced racer giving pointers about racing. They talk about cornering, safety in a pack, etc. After the clinic is a 4 mile (5 lap) race. After that is a 12 mile race at a faster pace. Give it a try
