Troi Sport Posted September 30, 2008 Share here's an idea:SPECIALIZED ANNOUNCES FAT BOY CRIT--MARCH 23In a trend that should be followed by more road promoters, the organizers of the Morgan Hill Grand Prix have announced that they will extend the program to include a Fat Boy Crit. The Fat Boy was added to the format to accommodate requests from mountain bike pros who were looking for a pre-Sea Otter Classic leg sharpener.It all takes place on a winding circuit in downtown Morgan Hill, California. The layout incorporates nine turns and a savage climb into a course of just over one mile. Entry rules for the Fat Boy Crit mandate that the bicycle must look like a mountain bike. There must be a suspension front fork, flat handlebars without bar ends, and tire width must be a minimum of 1.25 inches. Riders with NORBA Pro, Semipro and Expert licenses are invited to enter, along with UCSF CAT 1 and 2 license holders. Men, women and juniors in these categories will race together.Besides the two big mountain bike names who have already committed, Sara Bresnick-Zocchi, of the Ford Cycling Team, and the women's Victory Brewing Team are also expected to enter.For more information call the event hotline at (650) 302-6310; www.morganhillgrandprix.com usei t, don't use it Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/23071-crit-at-the-dome-tonight/page/4/#findComment-424372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

markStockton Posted October 1, 2008 Share I'm sorry I missed it, however I was sick as a dog. Went home and fell asleep, woke up when the Mrs arrived back from Kyalami at about 7. Was back in bed at 9h30. Feeling a lot better today.

Pocketbikes Posted October 1, 2008 Share Thanks Troy. What else was I going to do? I really wanted to ride, but couldn't, so the next best thing to do, was to take pics. Can't sit around doing nothing (shhhhh.... everyone thinks I'm taking pics, but I am really gathering info on how to do a crit, and to study the enemy?)

markStockton Posted October 1, 2008 Share ...sinuses however are shot today.... There is something very unfreindly in the air at the Dome, every Crit to date I've been on Sinumax and antihistamines for 2 or 3 days after wards. Normally start sneezing by the time I get home.
