Off And Pedaling The Second Annual Campus Criterium Bicy- cle Race was held April 28, attracting more than 300 riders to the University of Maryland from around the country. The riders, including more than 31 campus students, were divided into groups ranging from young juniors to licensed seniors based on their riding abilities and experience. Then the race began and they were sent on their way, speeding around an exciting 1.6 mile course. Racers were taken around Byrd Stadi- um, up a sweeping turn and through a slightly twisting climb up Stadium Drive to the finish line. Depending on the cyclist ' s classification, the course was made up of four to t wenty-five laps. Sponsored by the University ' s Stamp Union Programs, the College Park Bicycle Club and the Chesapeake Wheelman, Inc., the bike race was Stage 11 of the First Annual Tour of Mary- land. Stage I, a roadrace held in Baltimore, was developed by the 1985 Campus Criterium Co- ordinating Committee, which wanted to ex- pand the existing Campus Criterium from a one day event to a two day staged event, accord- ing to the Tour of Maryland program. All together, a total of $4,C00 worth of prizes were given. Winners were chosen from each category of the bike race, and five overall Tour of Maryland winners were chosen as well. In addition, each bike racer had the opportu- nity to win other prizes during the race. These prizes, called primes, were awarded for special sprints within the race to the finish line. Whether competing or observing, all en- joyed the day, and plans for the 1986 Second Annual Tour of Maryland were already in the making. Claire Fagen

Terrapin Trot More than 300 runners showed up to test their stamina Oct. 20 for the sixth annual Terrapin Trot around the U. of MD campus. Sponsored by the Stamp Union, the race began around 9:00 a.m. despite slick weath- er conditions, and runners took off, following the winding course past buildings and trees. A lOK race, the Terrapin Trot gave men and women a chance to win prizes while running just for the fun of it. Overall winners for male and females received 10-speed bi- cycles, the grand prizes, during an awards ceremony after the race. Radios were given to the first place winners of each separate age group, and certificates were given to second and third place winners finishers in each group. For the rest of the runners, the reward for running came from the satisfaction of the finish itself Mike Kline, a junior pre-veteri- nary major and a two year Terrapin Trot participant, summed it up best when he said, I really just enjoy being a part of a Maryland tradition.
