Hi Everyone! So, this Sunday is the monthly Messilla Valley Circuit Race - Sunday, August 10th. Again, there is NO entry fee to participate in this Circuit Race.
The announcement for the race is listed below. Also, there are 2 sets of mini-trophies for the winners - the Womens winner in the "A" Category, the Mens winner in the "A" category, the Womens winner in the "B" Category and the Mens winner in the "B" Category. So, come on out to participate or to watch - or both! Hope to see you there!
Okay, here is the race announcement:
We will be having the Messilla Valley Circuit Race this Sunday - August 10th - at 8:30am. Registration will open at 8:00AM at the top of the hill of Messilla Valley Road - just near the intersection with Pentz Road. The "A" Category will be starting their event at 8:30AM, and the "B" Category going at 8:31AM. The number of laps will remain the same as the last race - 10 laps for each Category(sorry - I know, I'm the devil!). Again, sandbagging will not be allowed!
The Messilla Valley Course is approximately 3.5 miles in length with about 300+
feet of climbing per lap. 10 laps = 35 miles and 3,000+ feet of climbing. We will
have more water containers at the Start/Finish Line this time around too. For a map of the course,

Again, most USCF rules apply to these races - you know, wear a helmet, don't be stupid, ride correctly and all that good stuff. A mention about Tri Bars - You can have Tri Bars on your bicycle - BUT, you must NOT use them if you are in a pack or paceline! Normally, in a USCF race, you would not be allowed to have them on your bicycle - but I know many of us like them on our bicycles and use them for training. This isn't the World Championships - we do these Circuit Races for fun, fitness and practice - but please be very very reluctant in using the Tri Bars in a pack/paceline situation.
For those of you driving to the course, Spring Valley School is approximately
1-mile from the Start/Finish.......or you can park at Butte College and ride to
the start(great warm-up and cool-down, with a store along the way). Parking on
the course is discouraged.
Water bottle hand-ups will be solely dependent on volunteers.
Hope to see you out there!!
