Race 1 - CandleStick CycloCross

September 30, 2012

We're Back at the Stick!

California state budgets have kept us off this locale with our last outing back in 2008 - on a very wet and soft course. It is now very overgrown with nary a trace of our old courses. We're hoping for that early fall wet weather again when we share the ground squirrel habitat directly across from the 49er's stadium. It's flat with just a few man-made bumps on this land fill. We'll be chopping the wild fennel and all sorts of weeds from the overgrown paths as we get back to a race course where Daniele Pontoni, 1995 World Champ,  raced back in 2004. Here are a few links to previous Candlestick race report

A Note about Numeric Categories - Here at the Bay Area Super Prestige Series we don't feel that it is in the best spirit to hold people to a numeric category.
