2018 Cedar Hill Criterium presented by LP Building Products Riding Out the Weather: Mountain Bikers Put LP Legacy® Sub-Flooring to the Extreme Test That's a pretty cool gig - sending your whip off some jungle sub-floor launching pads. I mean, who wouldn't want to partner with an organization like this?! We're stoked to announce that LP Building Products is our Title Sponsor for this year. As a Nashville cyclist that's been around awhile, some of my fondest cycling memories were of cutting my crit teeth at those super-fast and ultra-smooth Wednesday night crits around the Tennessee Titans football facility, sponsored at the time by none other than LP Building Product. Oh sweet baby Jesus those Nashville Cyclist Crits were the cats meow. That was over ten years ago. Who would know that we'd come full circle and forge an exciting partnership at the Cedar Hill Criterium. We're stoked that at this year's Cedar Hill Criterium, following the kids race at noon- together, with LP Building Products, and in an effort to keep our tiny planet happy, we’ll be planting some trees with kids and parents at Cedar Hill park. Because, there's only one planet that has tacos, and we gotta take care of her. LP Building Products has a rich history of success garnering awards for customer service, quality and community involvement:

Some lucky bugger is gonna take home some serious speed. How fast? Fast enough for former American Hour Record holder, Norm Alvis (Still has some spanking left in those legs, Norm!) Dan Kellerby, managing partner from FSE Wheels, dropped a note on the wheels that are up for raffle: "The FSE 45/55CD (pictured above) covers all the bases. They come equipped with our FSE 420 hubs that are convertible from quick release to 12mm thru axle to 15mm thru axle. The rims have not only our laser etched ghost logos, but will also have our laser etched rim brake treatment. So no matter if they have rim brake now and/or plan to go to disc, or are disc now these will cover all the bases. Additionally, they have our “no rim bed spoke holes” system to allow for no rim tape to be used with clinchers and can also be used as tubeless setups with no seal tape needed. The rims are 45mm deep front and 55mm deep in the rear. They are 26.65mm wide." Cedar Hill Donut Lord: Weapons of mass destruction - for your glorious soul-crushing quads. A little more about FSE - (From their website)……"It all started with a beer at a bike show…then a strong friendship connection…a working partnership…now a family. FSE.bike is a brand of a our main corporation that started in 2006 to provide “original equipment manufacturing” (OEM) to respected cycling brands around the world. We have been very successful and have strong partnerships with the world’s leading brands. We never ever stop trying to improve our product, our performance, and quality control. This is what inspired our search for a better way to make carbon fiber wheels. Our solution is FSE – Filament Spin Evolution carbon fiber wheels. We knew immediately we were onto something ground breaking. Yet we did not rush the process. This has been in development for three years. We have been lab and road testing them for over a year. Interbike 2016 was our official launch. 10 years later, best friends are still also partners. We are now doing the best work of our lives and are tremendously honored and excited to present them to the people we love most…bike riders." Cedar Hill Donut Lord: Tremendous story - Tremendous dudes. Proceeds from the FSE Wheel Raffle will go directly to the Tennessee Interscholastic Cycling League, the next generation of crank-benders, those who will assuredly drop the hammer on you at some point in your esteemed bike racing career, because, you know... Not familiar w/the Tennessee Interscholastic Cycling League? - take a ride in our blog time machine Some serious good kids (not too mention talent) coming out of the NICA leagues, and the Tennessee league has BLOWN UP, YA'LL. Raffle tickets can be purchased when you register online and will also be sold at the registration tent & throughout the day. Weekend of Crits

May 6th - Ye 'Ole Leg Burner at Cedar Hill Park T-minus 14 Days! Registration Is Open #Musiccitycycling #MaxGanderMemorialCrit #CedarHillCrit #LordsofSprint Big Equal Payouts Women's Masters Juniors Race - FREE Kids Race at noon - FREE 5 Questions with our Miranda Priestly-Good Witch of the North, Emily Magli Emily Magli Wife. Mother. Bike Racer. Lingerie Designer & returning sponsor of the Women's 123 Race at Cedar Hill Some of ya'll may recognize Emily from her time of indentured servitude as Cedar Hill's Queen of Race Registration. What most of ya'll won't recognize (sans the Nashville orbit of cool peeps) is that over the years, Emily has been so very generous, not only with her time, but with her business. In keeping with this series of strong women in the sport interviews, we decided to check-in with the Miranda Priestly-Good Witch of the North a.k.a. bike-mom/fashion designer….to drink some tequila with and talk smack about her worthless sandbagging husband 5 questions w/Emly Magli: fashion designer, bike racer, NICA mom Cedar Hill Donut Lord: 1. Hey Em! First we'd like to publicly thank you for all the work that you do at the Cedar Hill Criterium -working the registration table can be challenging, but every year you own it and somehow keep the TBRA registration czar, Bill, Parson, running smoothly and on time. More importantly, for the past 4 years, or so, you've donated a beautiful garment to be awarded as a in race prime, to the women's P123 event, Unless they've won, most ladies probably aren't aware of this. But every year, one special winner takes home a custom piece of amazing fabric - beyond generous of you. Thank you for helping make our race special that way. To that point - as we prepared for our discussion today, we dug around your website and found this excerpt from you, "I specialize in making lingerie and other garments from high quality fabrics sewn with care and thought for the wearer. I use many couture techniques that add an heirloom quality and beauty to it. " - So we're really curious, does your sandbagging husband have silk pajamas?! No, please, don't answer that..but on a serious note about you, 1. Can you tell our readers a little more about your inspiration & what makes your work here so rewarding? EM - "Thank you for the kind words and your support, Don! It is rewarding to take a square piece of fabric and turn it into a finished garment that brings joy to the person wearing it. I am inspired by the unique clothing designs of the 1930’s. Women progressed from wearing restrictive corsets and bustles at the turn of the century to draped, body-skimming bias dresses. It took me awhile to attempt to cut and sew a bias silk gown similar to the ones I had long admired by my favorite designer, Madeleine Vionnet. Technically speaking, it was was like going from frying an egg to making a souffle. However, once I got the hang of it, sewing with silk and on the bias became my favorite thing to do. I am also enamoured with vintage Japanese kimonos. The kimono is a relatively simple garment. It is literally several rectangles pieced together. However, even the non-formal everyday kimonos are beautifully sewn with tiny uniform stitches all by hand. The craftsmanship is amazing. I try to incorporate some element of hand sewing in all of my garments, whether it is appliquing the lace or creating the very narrow straps for the night gowns. I find sewing by hand calming, almost meditative. With so much busyness in our lives, it is nice to take some things slowly. The garments I make are an alternative to the mass produced garments currently available in the lingerie market. I offer clothing/lingerie that is made from high quality 100% silk fabric. I give care and thought for the person wearing it. I want women to be comfortable and feel beautiful when wearing one of my garments." Cedar Hill Donut Lord - Very cool. We checked-out your ETSY and Facebook pages, that's some serious talent, Em, beautiful work!
Cedar Hill Donut Lord Walk us thru this, so we don't screw this up - you're an active cyclist, a mom, a NICA-Mom, wife, fashion-designer and business owner….and yet somehow you still find time to ride…wow 3. How do you fit it all in?? EM - "My daughter is rolling her eyes about now! I don’t do it all. Each day I have to make a conscience effort to decide what is important that day, and what it is I want to accomplish. That is why you will see dirty dishes in the sink and me in the same clothes from yesterday. Some days it is sunny outside and I want to ride my bike, but then I know I should do something productive towards building my business - and, then a kid gets sick or has something important, or a friend asks you to do an interview." Cedar Hill Donut Lord - 4. Favorite bike memory you'd like to share with our three readers? EM - "It’s hard to pick one. My best moments have been with my husband. Generally, I am cursing him for taking me up some long mountain climb in a foreign place, where I feel I’ve been left for dead. Then we crest the climb, and I think, wow, that was incredible. Can we do it again?" Cedar Hill Donut Lord - 5.Rumor has it your doing something crazy-epic on a mtb later this Summer - What's this all about? EM - "It is another opportunity for me to curse my husband and then realize how great he is, I hope! We are doing the Breck-Epic mountain bike race together in Breckenridge, Colorado. We will take turns mountain biking 30-40 miles a day for six days. Luckily, we will have some pretty wonderful friends with whom we will get to share this adventure. " Cedar Hill Donut Lord - WHOA - the stuff legends are made of right there! {"hahahaha, you big dummies!"} We hoped you enjoyed the spotlight with Emily, she's such a cool lady. If you do happen to see Emily at the Cedar Hill registration table, be sure and thank her for her generosity and for helping grow the sport - and you're interested in some custom garments below Weekend of Crits in SMASHVILLE Fri.
