Race History
Back in the early 1980s the local club - the Laramie Wheelfolk -
used to host a weekly time trial that always started at the historical
marker at the five-and-a-half mile mark on Highway 230. The spot
was perfect for a weekly test of fitness, bike technology and forum
for bragging rights, given that it's flat and gave us the chance to try
out five- or ten-mile distances.

Tim Strzechowski:
Spring, arrived, wheelfolk appeared in the streets and parks,
in gaudy striped socks and long-billed "scorcher" caps (p. 42).
"Wheelfolk" may relate either to the Ferris employees who were building the
Wheel, or to the various employees we might today call the carival workers.
