Don't let the snow flurries scare you, 'cause the Spring racing season is just about here!
You'll have plenty of early season 5K's to get those legs turning and get you ready for those triathlons, half or full marathons! Tomorrow am is the Bust-A-Gut 5K at Christ The King Church in the U-Area. It goes off at 9 am sharp and included in the $10 entry fee is a pancake breakfast, yum! Sign me up.
Next we've got the Run for the Trees 5K on April 5th at McCormick Park. This one's a local favorite and attracts quite a crowd. Sorry boys and girls, but I'll be racing Frozen Flatlands that weekend in Spokane. This is the first official race of the Five Valley Velo squad and it's a great course!
But first, anyone who wants to try out bicycle racing in a low-key setting should sign up for the Missoula Training Races. The first one is next Saturday, the 22nd. Sign ups are the morning of the race at Missoula Bicycle Works, then drive or ride out to Clinton for the noon start. These races are geared towards teaching new cyclists the ins-and-outs of riding in a peloton while getting a real racing experience. Sign up for the "C" group and you won't be disappointed!
These are the major, early spring races that are sure to draw a bunch of folks. I'm hoping that we'll get some good pictures and hot race reports from those of you who participated. Feel free to post your stories on the blog for all to read!
See you at the starting line.
