It's the State Crit Champs this weekend with many ability categories decided at Mass Avenue on Saturday and the Masters/ Juniors at West Clay on Sunday. Saturday looks to be a long day or racing with all sorts of other stuff going on as well as the bike racing including Roller Girl races, Couriers races. They are still looking for volunteers to help out and thos that do will get some free swag I think. Contact Sarah Myer at volunteer@nuvo.net.
As for the riders to watch- There is only one favorite for the Pro/1/2 race as Eric Young has been smashing it recently including two race wins this past weekend at Warsaw and Southeasyway Park. In the Cat1/2 Womens race expect the Alderfer Bergen ladies to be out in force and expecting to dominant. In the Cat3s Team Sustainable Cycling have been riding very strongely in recent weeks so look for those guys to set up one of their own for the W.
