California racing plans...

[BikeMomma]

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!
