Reflecting on today's events and my past experience... Two years ago about this time, July 2008, I rode from Burlingame, CA to Springfield, OR. Approximately 600 miles; three weeks on the road solo. Since and three months prior I have been riding my bicycle to work every day and everywhere else. Joy rides, grocery store, downtown, post office... Then today excitement rushed through my body as I walked downtown Burlingame and saw the races in action. 40 minute sets, 100's of cyclists, cash prizes, sponsors, onlookers, cameras and most exciting of all: one of the busiest roads in Burlingame was closed off for a nice clear track.
I did some probing and found some information on how to get involved. I need to start with Cat 5 races. Today there were only Cat 1-4. After ten category 5 races and plenty of training and preparation I can register to race! Very exciting. I am already thinking of where to begin my research and hoping to find some category five races nearby this coming year.
I will start on ncnca.org
