We’ve noticed everyone has taken a liking to talking about the race. So we’re giving you a place to do that, and just that.
Feel free to use this area to discuss anything and everything about the Little 500 — Qualifications, Spring Series, the race itself.
Please, no character attacks. Trash-talking is great, but slandering people isn’t. Let’s keep it clean. Or your post will be deleted.
33to1 
Hats off to teter for blowing up the race and going for glory. The coach must have planned the move- too bad they went a little early. early in the race, melanzana and teter were the only teams willing to work. maybe that’s why the coach decided to throw down?
When the gap wasn’t widening, teter’s coach doubled down and and was doing exchanges every 4 laps. I think that’s what gassed the girls.
Anyway thank you to all the students who take the bit between the teeth and sign up to the challenge of doing the race. It’s gotta be one of the coolest things in all of college sports.
Let’s goooiooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CUUTTEEEERRRSSSSSSSSSSSS

Good job Torinn, you made some fast riders hurt when the pack was being blown up. Man I love little 5, people who didn’t ride will never understand.

Leave Teter alone, if for nothing else then for the sake of sportsmanship. They not only got dragged by both the men’s and women’s race commentators; but now they’re catching strays left and right on here.
They’re mostly rookies, and they did great for such a young team.
Who impressed in the men’s and women’s races outside of the two champs?
Outside of the historical favorites:
Chi Alpha was in the race the entire time, probably would have been in the final sprint group if they didn’t get wiped out in their wreck with Delts and Phi Delt (rider at the time had no idea where the bike landed)
Beta Sigma Psi worked themselves back onto the lead lap
IUDM was pretty good too for a long portion of the race, as were Ghost
Women’s race is so hard to tell but Independent Council and Ride On were probably the best of the rest
I’m really curious as to which organization is going to be next first time winner
Chi Alpha was in the sprint group and got 4th
Sig Ep and Teter went for the wins. Huge props to them for the efforts, even though they both ended up getting caught by strong, motivated teams. Sometimes you strike out swinging for the fence, but there is no shame in that.
Why is everyone saying that we cheated? I genuinely don’t understand. Was it the FIJI slide out?
Bro you clearly took him out. Y’all and your “surprise exchanges” were reckless and you certainly deserved a penalty for that impeding move against Fiji. Everyone I’ve talked to agrees
just cuz they didn’t do big burns and “surprised” people doesn’t mean their exchanges were reckless. There are different ways to exchange and what they did worked. everyone I’ve talked to agrees
As a team impacted by the crash, this was 100% Fiji’s fault for cutting too far inside on turn 4 and impeding on Cutters’ line as they were trying to follow Sig Ep’s late attack. But all of this was also a matter of officials allowing lapped riders to remain on the inside, leaving XA and DTD with no option but to pass on the right and run straight into Fiji when the incident happened. Fiji caused the crash, but all of this could have been prevented if the race officials would have done their job to force lapped riders to the outside while the clear 5 contenders raced for the win without interference.
Snake oiled salesman. Heard cutters paid off the officials. Bet those guys wipe standing up too
Who’s the faciest mens team
Cutters can’t “muster” up a place to host superlatives? these fools really exist just to win Little 5. I’d honestly feel bad if they didn’t win lmaooo
isn’t that kinda the point
Only cool kids are allowed at the secret track after party 😉
cutters are a bunch of milk drinkers lmaooo
Anyone see that kid in the “F the Cutters” tee shirt at killjoys after the race? Super disrespectful if you ask me
valid
Was out on a ride today and couldn’t help notice I saw Judah having sex with his bike chain. Awfully funny considering it was more lubricated than your avg bike chain. Next thing I know he puts the chain and shoved the right handle bar up his ass. Meanwhile this was happening IU Student Foundation was on the scene to film it all with the permission of the whole team. Thank God this finally and Judah proceeded to smell and lick his handle bar, and then quickly hop on his seat (well the seat was gone he hopped on the shaft) and then did a burn out around the track. At this point I just rode away back to Teter.
Beefing with an 17 year old
16*
The only 16 I know is our amount of wins and the number of inches your is moms taking from me.
Wow! Do you write erotic novels?? If not, you should totally try too! Such vivid details so amazing such wow
yea that got me so wet judahs so sexy
Props to Kid Billy who rode 146 laps and had the best bike handling move in the race. If I were a rookie looking for a team and not a sick old lady, I’d be joining Kid Billy and the Bears next year. Billy’s coach is also dating a girl that would smoke 90% of the men’s field on a bike.
Is riding 146 laps and finishing 5 laps down impressive or a sign that the team doesn’t recruit and doesn’t train?
Brian Arfman riding over 100 laps and making it to the final sprint in 2014 with two teammates is impressive.
Carson rode around 135 laps and Phi Psi made it to the final sprint
I’d say that’s pretty impressive
About 70 of those laps were working for the team lapping him. Carson rode the race with more legs than brain cells. Phi Psi tactics never disappoint.
And Mother Bear is just so goddamn sexy
will has stinky pits
Little 500 win > any other bike race win
Just so people know
Happy training boys & girls
little 5 is so meaningless try racing the real stuff
Those of us who have done both would disagree with you.
Hmm, have you? Those who have, and have had time to reflect disagree with you. All of us.

I’m outjamin on this blinkerton shoutout to yodie family. Penjamin city shall you
Come on man: yes I’m pretty lame on this glitchy anonymous board that doesn’t always post right away and doesn’t allow deletions. But I *might* have slung some chain and seen some podiums, so yeah, what I said.
Clayton?
The 2024 men’s race will see the return of Team Major Taylor….. expect victory!
Doubtful (under any Major Taylor reference)
That only applies if you can’t read… See you in the spring bitch
The 2024 race will see the return of Team Major Taylor… #ExpectVictory
Seriously? Better have your lawyer contact me.
Come on in, the water’s fine.
Anyone remember rhys ivory ganja? Kid was a fucking stud
Hello, I’m new to IU and the little 500 bike race and I’m wanting to race next year and place top 5. I ran xc/track in middle school and was a competitive 5k/10k runner all of high school (21:34 and 46:31). I have a schwinn hybrid bike with disc breaks and I’m able to hold 14-16mph on most good rides. I’m okay with being on the winning team cutters but I would prefer to be on a frat team like sigma pi ep or fuji. If the team captains are interested please reply to this message
This is Jim. I am the Cutters coach. I’d like to recruit you considering the fact that my best riders can only average 12 miles per hour during race simulations and can only run a 5k in 23 minutes. I’d love to have you on the winning squad for the 2024 Little 500.
Jim
who’s gonna win this year?
The Cutters, but only if Jack Miller is on the team.
yo guys kyra brought head lice to the RC/SC retreat and gave it to EVERYONE there. wtf
Where the canvas announcements been this year??
Update, I was on a ride with my Teter buddies and saw Judah from a far. It may have been far but as far as the drumstick up his ass. Judah too many’s display was butt naked in the woods jerking off to his bike. It’s funny the cutters still support this fraud, it’s clear he’s gay.
Bruh, Teter has had enough defamation for a life time, let ’em breathe
So Bloomington townies are trying to take out greek riders? Independent teams have gone too far, shame none of them have spoken out against the targeting on Greek riders.
Carson is on EPO
Who is the townie loser that thinks she runs the Worlds groupme? Seriously have never heard of that chick in my life
the one overweight loud month who bitches at every living thing. Her cyclist boyfriend needs to do a better job at receiving her strap on
s
after itts I don’t think the cutters have what it takes to repeat
No one cares about ITT but they’re looking washed with no Torin. none of them can sprint
Little 5 is so dead
cat 1 is so dead
Is anyone missing Hank Ducan?
Are you shitting us?
Good: He saved L5 from Andrea (the devil) and kept it afloat after Covid
Bad: Created the most toxic RC IUSF has ever seen. Only cared about the big name teams.
Ugly: Had very questionable takes in L5 strategy and racing. And that god awful commentating.
He will make a great fan, just pray he doesn’t become involved anymore.
Anyone who was paying attention could have seen this coming. What would you expect Andrea (The Great Satan) to do? There were candidates who were infinitely more qualified than Hank, who were given 5-minute interviews and summarily dismissed. The damage she inflicted on IUSF and the race continues to leave their future in question. Hank was not the disease; he was just another symptom. In retrospect, maybe he saw the handwriting on the wall that no one else did. As for Andrea, she now works for IUF, the irony is staggering.
How’s everyone feeling about the new tires?
What’s everyone’s 2024 race predictions?

Judah 389 watts for 20 minutes for the haters out there btw lol
No one cares
Don’t sleep on beta sig
best little 5 couple?
La valle + all of rc
+ judah
Genuinely why do RC. Everyone looks so miserable and overworked.
No they’re having fun do you not see the Instagram stories????
It’s because people sign up for RC expecting it to be like the cool kids club of L5. It’s literally volunteer work. Only do it if you want to volunteer & have the time to commit.
the real cool kids club of little 5 meets at the cutters secret track every week
It is really sad to see IUSF and RC Members promote BKB’s “rookie traditions” (aka hazing).
For reference, as defined by the 2024 Little 500 Manual, “Hazing is strictly prohibited. Hazing shall be defined as any conduct which subjects another person, whether physically, mentally, emotionally, or psychologically, to anything that may endanger, abuse, degrade, or intimidate the person as a condition of association with a group or organization, regardless of the person’s consent or lack of consent.”
It really is unbelievable that nobody bats an eye to their rookie yellow shirt hazing. It is clearly demeaning and degrading, and regardless of consent, it still violates the race manual. I really feel bad for these kids and any future BKBers who will join what has suddenly become a sad joke of a program.
Damnnn that’s crazy. Wait till you find out about jetblach and the tattoos
Sounds like you need to get laid, buddy.
Wait until you hear about the workouts every team makes their rookies do…
Who is coaching BKB? Please say it is not Bailey.
Only a BKB rider would post a “BKB is tough” story. 10 years of BKB alum and their girlfriends lost it because Jimmy Kulik made a shush gesture, you guys aren’t tough…
best rookies?
Criteria/Context?
BKB training plan: hire subpar cat 4 coach from fast cat, Nash 90, drop chain, haze, practice exchanges 2 days before quals, try to poll on 3rd attempt
“hire subpar cat 4 coach ” So Bailey IS coaching!
What teams have better coaches?
Race prediction:
Men’s:
Cutters, Sig Ep, DTD, BKB, SAE, Phi Delt, 3PH, Chi Alpha, ASig, Cinzano,
Women’s:
Theta, teter, AXO, DG, CSF, Zana, Novus, IC, AGD, Ride On
Cutters a bunch of clowns thinking breaking away is about them
have u seen breaking away
What dose epo works well? I want to be big and strong to win the sprint!
Just ask Carson!
