Providence, home of the Nats (for a while!). Loved the course in RWP, which remained clearly visible for weeks after the race. My mother looked at it (I didn't ride it) and started very strongly suggesting that I take up yoga.
Yes, the women's field is definitely growing, which is positive. There are some very hard-core, very macho-seeming men riding (living for) cross here. They make the skill clinics pretty intimidating. The rumour is that one of the BSGs wants to set up some clinics with the local NEMBA chapter, which could be a different crowd.
I didn't upgrade my ride from the commuter until mid-November so I've got a lot of training to do. Luckily there are good parks here with places to ride a variety of terrains and fields that can be soft enough to practice dismounts etc. The joke is that all of Providence is a cross course every spring and summer, when the DPW tears up the street and sidewalk.
Kansas City should be interesting...I won't go but I'll be paying attention!
Looking forward to your race reports!
