Bluetree--where do I sign up? LOL I'd love to live in Southern California. Most of my road races only have 8-10 gals at the most. Most of the time, they have us start with the 1, 2, 3 women and so half of us get dropped and have to fend for ourselves It so is not conducive to getting stronger in the sport or getting racing skills in a pack. I was looking at the links for your races and was impressed that the categories for women are all separate! Whoaaaa! 1 and 2 together and then, separate for 3 and 4. Wild stuff! My hubby is a cat 2...Here they put 1,2 together or pro, 1, 2 all together for the men. BTW, I love free samples It's the best use I can find for my cleaveage!

KnottedYet--Wow, beer during races...hee hee! That would be fun...Hee hee! I get drunk after one though, so I'd be a real hoot, eh?
