Might still try to get in 1 or 2 of the races (sat and Mon) to help out teammates. Who knows.
In for getting lapped (several times) in the open cat, 30+ on Saturday!
I've said it in here before but I'll say it again:
If you're over 30 and you've ever even THOUGHT about racing. THIS IS THE WEEKEND TO DO IT.
Doesn't matter if you've raced before.
Doesn't matter what sort of shape you're in.
Doesn't matter if you don't even have a road bike (one of the guys last year held his own on a mt bike with slicks).
The course is as mild as it can get. The fields are smallish. The atmosphere is laid back and fun. The 5's race is short. Everybody in your race will have a family/job/personal health they're responsible for and will, consequently, behave themself.
Get out there and do it people.
