Upcoming Races

Here is a list of upcoming races that I plan to attend in the next couple of weeks:

• Martinez Bay Front Criterium - Only in its 2nd year running, this will be my first time there. I've heard alot of good things about this race. Prize money is good for the racers but for me I like that it has a hill in it - makes for good pics! I've got to make sure to bring the umbrella (rain in the forcast).

• Amgen Tour of CA Prologue - I missed last year's edition so I'm looking forward to attending this year. I'm only going the prologue and will miss out on the other stages because of work. I would of love to witness stage 3 (Stockton - SJ) in person, it is so very close to home!

• Snelling Road Race & Merced Criterium - Both races are about 35 mins. from my front door. The road race covers the roads I often ride. I used to live in the area so I look forward to seeing a few old friends there.

• Merco Cycling Classic - same area as the previous races but this event will attract some big names! Ok, Basso, Cuenago, and the other bigger names will not be there but most likely YOU will be there, right? That's all that counts. Useless fact: Did you know that I've been the webmaster of this event for the last several years? That explains why my photos are plastered all over that site.

That's it for now. The events I plan to attend above are tentative - things may come up or my wife may change her mind. By the way, isn't she lovely...
