Hey Gang.
Anyone know more details about this crit? I was thinking of doing it since it's near by.
Thanks.

yes, they are a separate governing body but the have a reciprocity agreement so your points/starts will count.
course is simple and relatively smooth and three of the turns are not that tight. turn four is the tightest the others are more of just arcs. might be a couple of bots dots but i can't remember

Dots for sure coming out of turn 2, and I think turn 3. Open and flat course, sometimes windy.

The Hughes course has dots out of every corner (I think), but they only get in my way coming out of turns 1 and 4 with turn 1 being the worst. It's funny that I can't be sure about it because I can't count how many times I've raced there and I also trained there for a bit in the 1980s.
BTW, the course is dead flat -- frying pan flat -- get it?

I'll be there along with some teammates. Most of them are doing Cat 4 and 35+, but I'll only be doing Cat 4 since I'm not old enough for masters.
This was my favorite course as a junior 12 years ago (back then it was the Long Beach Criterium Series, and also the NDF Criterium). Flat and fast with very wide, smooth roads and wide corners with a long stretch to the finish.

Me and 4 or 5 teammates will be there. Doing the cat 4 and the 40+ 4/5. We need to convince Vance to do the cat 5. Get his criterium feet wet.

That was when my club promoted some of those races with Marilyn Sonye.

I just checked out the course on Google Maps and you can actually see a peloton of riders on it. Pretty Cool!

Very cool. Definitely shot during a race as you can see the barriers at turn 4 (and the port-a-potties) and the cones on West Carson.
