But really...for the fee, do they close the road? Prizes?
We've got a semi-formal Wednesday night up here, not entry fee, sprint points for prizes and such. Points are all marked and finishing order is on the honor system or determined by the lead group.

I don't organize it, not a member of their club, but will take what I can get. This for sure beats the south bay group rides in terms of training I think.
Prizes are minimal, primes sometimes and a prize for 1st. I won some Hammer chamois cream, and some water bottles so far. But if you're going there for prizes you should probably go somewhere else.
The road is not closed, but there is minimal traffic there. Only tricky part about the traffic is turn 2 at the bottom of a downhill - it has a stoplight, so they put a person down there to hit the walk signal for us or let us know if cars or coming. Sometimes we have to neutralize if there are cars coming.
So it's not perfect, but it gets the job done - training!
