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.
