Velonews.com: Frischkorn's Sounds of Spring

Velonews.com columnist and Slipstream/Chipotle talent Will Frischkorn writes about all “the sounds of spring” that make early season racing so much fun.

“…the light crackling sound of hail smashing into helmets; the honking of blown noses, clearing both spring sickness and mud; a hacking cough piercing the air every few minutes; and the worst sound of all: blood-curdling yells, followed by the inevitable sound of metal on pavement and snapping carbon, and more yells, and then probably some unsavories not fit for print. Yep, those are the sounds of “spring” in northern Europe. Repeat that sequence for six hours and you’ve got a bike race.”
