Sunday June 28th, Spokane :thumb:

Registration is open for the Four Mound Prairie Road Race. This is the 2009 Masters and Juniors state championship road race. The course is a variation of an old Spokane favorite with a nice climb, gentle rollers, and quiet country roads. There will be six Masters fields, four juniors fields, and a non-championship elite category 4/5 field.

Hmm, sounds like fun, thanks for posting!

So can anyone get into the Cat 4/5 race?

Just wondering since it's the "Elite 4/5" category on the flyer. I'm a new Cat 5, but certainly not yet "elite." =]

:D that's a common question. By USA Cycling definition, Elite = "Senior" = anyone who is not a Junior or a Master. So yes, you certainly qualify for the category 4/5 elite race. Out of curiosity, have you been racing the Twilight Series?

Ah, finally "elite" makes sense. Thanks!

So far I've only done 7 races, 6 at Seward Park and then Ballard last weekend. I have yet to race on that side of the mountains, but would like to.

I'll apologize for the thread hijack upfront -

Mattm - is there a typical or standard date and time for the races at Seward Park? I'd love to take my daughters to watch the event.

Thanks and good luck!

I might try to make it out there for that weekend. Just coming back from an injury (from a different sport) and trying to build my race legs these next few weeks.

Do we have to pre-register? Also, is the race hotel still available? or should i start considering host housing? I'll be racing the A's.

I just heard word that the host hotel is sold out. Try calling around to some other hotels in the area. We do have host housing available. Email spokanerocketvelo@gmail.com if you're interested...cya
