Last weekend was the 2016 edition of Syracuse Race Weekend.  If you didn't make it out, you missing a great weekend of racing, and I don't think many people were aware that on Sunday we had a Canadian National Road Race Champion racing with it.  Very cool stuff. As part of race weekend, the local bike shops provide prizes for the racers that we give away throughout the weekend, and this year they were *extraordinarily** generous*.
