Little 500 is a big deal at IU. I mean, the mens race has been going on for 52 years. There was an issue this year about one team and whether or not they should be allowed to ride. It seems that one of the riders may have been over-qualified to ride in Little 500.
These riders put in so much effort, it is just amazing. My ex-boyfriend rode for a house last year and he has so much pride for doing that and I am proud of him as well. I actually thought about riding for this year, but I am too afraid of falling!
I have heard about the race that ISU has...it is called Tandem, right? I have a friend who is a Gamma Phi there and she tells me about it.
Little 500 is such a good time! The week of Little 500 is always packed with things to do and there is so much spirit in the riders and the spectators. If you are in the area next April, I would encourage watching at least one race...men's or women's!
