Each podium winner wins a set of....Ok, before we go full BW on you (or scroll down for the cheddah), please read this brief blog entry from our newest sponsor, HearingPlanet: "Going to the Big Game? Bring Ear Plugs! As the saying goes, nothing says “America” like baseball and apple pie. And football and basketball too, for that matter. There’s nothing like being packed in a stadium with 50,000 or so of your closest friends, united in your love for the home team. One potential dangerous element of these sporting events, however, is the crowd noise. Earlier this fall, the Seattle Seahawks and the Kansas City Chiefs each broke the Guinness world record for crowd noise, at 136dB and 137dB, respectively. For comparison sake, the sound of a jet engine from 100 feet away is about 140dB. At volumes like that, even a very short exposure can cause irreversible damage to your hearing. " *Dang.

The 2014 Cedar Hill Criterium was a tremendous success this year. Since then, your friendly neighborhood promoter and event crew have been very busy tidying up drone footage and drinking lots of beer. One of those things is actually very true. Truthfully, we did attempt to capture the day's exciting race experience for you, hope you enjoy (and apologize if our drone spooked you) and would be honored if you would share the fun with your teammates, friends, and family. More importantly, it's no secret, our success starts and ends with this amazing community of people surrounding Nashville, TN.
