Last week, Camerino tuned-up bikes for the 30th Annual Rosarito Beach-to-Ensenada Fun Ride set for April 18. The event, a notorious madhouse of semi-serious riding and beer drinking along the toll road between the two spring break towns south of the border, was more subdued this year.

In a country of three time-zones, where your roommate can go skiing and you to a tropical beach simultaneously, it is hardly a surprise that the US and its collegiate athletic program can not only accommodate more than one major sport, but find a place for minor ones to thrive as well.And in spite of American sports’ oft-inscrutable nature, it seems that Harvard is my ideal...
