I have traveled over much of america going to various types of bike races and i have concluded that southern california people dont like to race nearly as much as other people in the country.
It is well known that Los Angeles is regarded as a city that places alot of importance on appearance and not so much on substance.
With the huge population and number of cyclists its too bad more people in so cal dont race.
This video is a cyclocross race over the weekend in LA. This race was the combined Cat 3/4, Masters 35 and Elite/Pro
