Awesome!
My race (Cat 4 races with the Master 35+ women) is at 2:50pm, scheduled for 40 minutes. The pro/1/2 men race after me.

If you're interested in watching the pro/1/2/3 women (Charlotte's a Cat 3, so we'll be there that early too), that race is at 12:50pm. Should be a good one.

Need some input from you guys.... I'm pasting the link to the course map and topo map of the Wente road race, which is the day before the crit:
Wente RR course map
Wente RR topo map

Can someone tell me about these roads? Hate to admit, but I'm a complete novice at topo maps...don't really know how to read one!! I know Cross Rd pretty clearly in the ol' noggin from the Cindy (looks like the RR goes the opposite direction??), but I can't recall if I've been on the other roads (I've thrown away my Cindy map...figures). I'm sorta thinking of perhaps doing the road race too...trying my legs at a road race for a change.

Any input is appreciated! Thanks mucho.

Hey galz....raced the Wente Crit today & did well. I'll write up somethin' on the race results thread.

V - didn't see ya out there if you went! I don't blame you if you didn't go -- it was a bit chilly.

....in Salinas! Here's the link to the race info: Steinbeck Country Oldtown Criterium .

Haven't done this one before, so it should be interesting. My race is nice & early at 8:45am. Gives me time to race, grab some grub & a latte, perhaps dip my toes in the surf, and then make the drive back home to be pampered by my kids for Mom's Day. I'll have the best there is: bikes, coffee, the ocean, & my kids.

Cya!
