2007 Dogwood Classic

Hey everyone 2007 is amongst us now so racing is not too far away. Hope you've all been training. :)

Last year I ventured down to Branson, MO and took part in a road race just up the street in Bradlyville (about a half hour or so south of Springfield, MO). I've told several of you about the race and it seems that it's stirring up some interest. I hope to make it myself but either way I plan on posting the information for the race here on my blog.

Currently it sounds as if the race will take place Sunday March 25th. Last year they held the race on Saturday which was nice for getting back to MN for work on Monday. Might be a little tough this year. They don't have any race info up for this years event but you can take a look at last years info here: http://www.ozarkcyclingclub.org/Flyers/Dogwoodflyer.pdf

This was a great course with a few tough climbs and really no flat spots. 53 miles for cats 4/5 and 106 for 1/2/3's. This race is a great way to get in some warmer weather spring race miles.

I will update this post as more information be comes available.

Good News!

We actually have an American team that we can cheer for this year at Paris Roubaix and Criterium International and a host of other european races.
