Must do races
What are some of the must do races state side? Or for some of us, the races to put on the wish list.
|
Paris-Roubaix.
|
I was thinking more along the lines of, I don't know, the Giro.

Do you mean counties? Or provinces? Or do you mean 'state' as in nation state. Langkowi is a race I never did but really wanted to. That would be high on my list. I did the Tour of Okinawa twice and that was pretty cool. I'd add it otherwise. I wish I could have done Quatar but it really came into its own as a race long after I would have been able. Racing the Tour of South China Seas was awesome. Having people 5 deep at the barricades clamoring for an autograph is a boost to the legs even if it was only because I was a white face. I'd add that for those who haven't been there. I need to think about some more... |

I apologize for not making the point of the thread clear. I was meaning to say, what are some good must do races in the US. The giro comment was my pathetic attempt at sarcasm, and for that I give myself a :facepalm:

I can think of one right off the top of my head...The Swamp Classic in Gainesville, FL on Feb 5 and 6 of 2011 :)

Athens Twilight. But it's probably better to be a spectator, I've got three friends that broke bikes in that race.
|
Everest Challenge
Mt Washington Mt Evans Mt Haleakala Death Valley stage race My list is probably not like other people's. You might specify what kinds of races you're interested in. |
Tour of the Gila
Tour of the Battenkill |

Anniston is another biggie for the SE. |
Tour of Somerville... 'cause it's where I live :)

Don't try to eat at altitude. I got tunnel vision and it took forever for my breathing to catch up.

I'm going to give a go at the qualifier this year. My ridding buddy raced last year and loved.
