Move to La Canada. The San Gabriels will be your backyard.
I think more race organizers are moving to crits because it's costing them too much to get all the permits and support for a RR.

The permits are the reason the RR's aren't as prevelent in SoCal as they are in other areas. Here in Texas our season is about 70/30 RR to crits. It's easy to get the permits and they aren't as costly.

Yeah...I avoid the 101 like it's the plague. Always backed up.

Too bad you won't be in before Saturday. Sisquoc RR, the last RR of the year. There is also the Everest Challenge in September. Devil's Punchbowl is a one day RR. It is always held in April. Last year (2006)they actually raced twice on that course, the new promotor included it in an omnium SR, but it is traditionally held the last week of April as a RR only.
There are other teams in the TO area besides Amgen. They actually have a decent 35+ team. You can be on my team if the girl in the avatar can model the kit.

Okay I'm moving into the new house this weekend, finally going to get settled in! So the weekend of Sept 8/9 where are the good group rides in the Glendale area. Does PAA have a team ride that I could latch onto?
