This Sunday is Menlo Park GP. You can go and watch. Talk to the ppl. Most riders are pretty nice, except when they have their game face on. ;-). You can watch Pizza man rip the the 1,2,3 up. Personally I will be just trying to stay alive in the 3,4s.
On a side note. Most ppl just cat up at 10 races. I think that is a bit early, if you are Pizza man and killing the fld then yea go for it. But staying a 5 for just a few more races can really make a difference. You see the sprints and go with the action. This is where your bike handling skillls will really improve. A lot a guys just get pack finishes than cat up, some even count races they got dropped, or mech, DNF. You do not need to win to cat up, but get some solid top 10s. Feel comfortable in the race. How fun.
