Kind of frustrating.
It’s a big race weekend in my area, unfortunately I won’t be able to participate. Also kind of frustrating, cause I have been training my ass off and it seems like whenever it’s race weekend something comes up, or work is in the way.
And another thing, why the hell does Dallas not have any USAC sanctioned races? I’ll be stuck there for all of May, nothing on bikereg.
Thank you for allowing this word vomit, you can thank TMONK.
Where you do you live/ride? Dallas used to have a couple of pretty good crit series', but it looks like that may have stopped recently. There's a road race in Crockett, in between Dallas and Houston, on May 4 & 5. Might be worth the drive if you can swing it. I'd also suggest the "The South Ride a.k.a. Ray Hubbard Loop" on the weekends while in town if you want to do a race simulation / fast group ride. Search for the facebook page, it's not letting me link it. Bring a mountain bike too, there's a lot of good trail systems in the area.
