I'll be in the Open field. First race as a Cat 3.


I'm also thinking about doing the Tour of High Bridge on Sunday. That one sounds really interesting.
Watermelon Crit course is on Livingston Campus @ Rutgers University in Piscataway (I went to school there so if you have questions about directions or anything let me know). The course is really flat and there are 3 turns, the "4th" is a wide sweeping bend in the road.

Congratulations on your upgrade! That's fantastic. I've heard that the racing is different in that it's more like racing "with the guys" = higher and steadier pace vs. the yo-yoing that goes on in women's 4 races.

High Bridge has 2 nasty climbs - not long but steep. You'll need at least a 25 if not 27 on your cassette.

Good luck with both races
