Special to The Daily Iowan
Once a year a herd of bicycles, tricycles,
and big-wheels invade downtown Iowa
City. No, it's not RAGBRAI, it's the Old
Capitol Criterium children's races.
This year's Criterium will be held on
Sunday April 28 with registration
begining at 11 a.m. for the children's
races. There are classes for everyone
ages 4 and up.
The race which is co-sponsored by The
Daily Iowan and Iowa State Bank was
first held in 1977, and was promoted for
the fIrst two years by the race's creator,
DI publisher William Casey. Casey's
wife Carol also promoted the race for
two years, and since then the promoter's
job has been assigned to several
different people.
Casey's two children, Willie, 11, and
Bridget, 7, have participated in the race
every year they were eligible and have
almost always had a good time, said
Casey. "My son crashed once, but that's
just the nature of bike racing."
One of last year's place winners is
looking forward to racing again this
year. Andrea Siefers, who placed third
in last year's 4 year-01d big-wheel race,
will be in the 5 year-old bicycle race this
year. Siefers predicts that she will do
"fme."
Andrea isn't the only one in the Siefers
family that will be busy on the day of
the race. Andrea's father, Dick Siefers
will be working some of the races.
