Durand Road Race - 4/22/06

It's true: the MCF site is currently down.

In the absence of the handy race calendar that's usually accessible from the MCF site, here's a couple reminders for events that are coming up soon. I'm not sure if the links will work but give 'em a shot, it's hard to find them without being linked to the mcf board:

1. Opus Criterium, hosted by Loon State Cycling Club:
The start date is next week on Tuesday, 4/18. If you get there by 6:00 to register I think you'll be good (start time is 6:25 p.m.)

2. Durand Road Race: this is not part of the MWCMR series but that doesn't mean it's not worth going to. Personally, I really like this one. It's a fun course with a lot of rolling hills on a 13-mile loop. The women's race is 2 laps. There's one somewhat-significant hill on the back stretch ~3 miles from the start/finish line from what I recall. It's Amish country so you might have to pass a horse/buggy. Ask the official how that works with the centerline rule. I have no idea but I have to assume you're OK to pass at that point (?). I received the following email regarding it (preregistration is available and I think it's $10 cheaper compared to the day of the race):

*****
There's still time to register! Come join us for the Durand Road Race 2006, scheduled for 4/22/06. If you have not yet registered for this event the online registration will close 4/20. So move fast and register today! (If you have already registered for this year's event please disregard this message).

What else? Ken Woods Memorial Road Race on 4/29. You have to have this one on your calendar.

We'll post more updates as the dates get closer. Questions? let us know!
