[Toxanadu]

I need just need to get out a rant! We planned a trip from michigan to race in california for the san dimas stage race. time off work, plan ticket, bike shipped. registered for the race, and guess what? it's FULL. damnit I suck at this.

so anyone racing the san dimas stage race a cat 4 want to give up your spot? the 35+ is still open.

most of the time, they'll let you race if you show up early to register. Contact whoever is in charge, and I'm sure they can figure something out - expecially under your circumstance.

I know the Incycle in San Dimas is tied to this race, so maybe you can give them a call and see if they can get the word out for an extra spot.

next time register first and early!

also, upgrade yourself to cat 3 and register if there time and when you get back home downgade to cat 4!

if there no spots you can ride on the track at home depot center almost every day and do industrial park crits here in socal! ;-))

With Daylight savings time coming early the Buds ride should be starting up next week.. I know the new shop is JAX in Claremont but it is still the Buds ride in my mind.. 3 laps at Bonelli at a good race pace..

i thought of that, but cat 3 is full as well. i would do 35+, but my racing age is 24. where can i find info on an industrial park crit?

Go to the previously posted socalcycling.com link. San Dimas is a big race so you don't have any nearby options. The closest race is the time trial and criterium in Visalia (gateway to Sequia and Kings Canyon National Parks) which is about 3 hours north of LA. You could also head all the way up to Sacramento (6 hours north, ncnca.org/road ) for a crit and road race.
