This makes it kind of the Thurs night world championships - with insurance. As a few of us have spent time in the hospital from those - might be a good deal. Locally we have the Tue/Thurs races at the Great Park (Irvine, CA) and Eldorado Park (Long Beach) and a bunch of guys do those and never race on the weekends. "Eldo" has been around since the 80s. Coach say the mid-week group rides are too fast for serious weekend racers.
