UPDATE: Friday 2/17

Pre-registration is closed for this race. We've received about 50 entries each in both the M35+ 4/5 and Men's Cat 4 race, and the other events have plenty of room. Arrive early to be assured a spot in the 35+ 4/5 event.
There's now a KOM at the top of Bonita Street, generously sponsored by Hill & Company. Details of how to earn KOM points and prizes will be provided on race day.
MotionBased in Sausalito, a division of Garmin, has generously donated two compact Garmin GPS units, plus a full-year subscription to the MotionBased online activity-tracking service. This makes a GREAT training tool, as CRCers can attest - several of us use this to track rides and races. These will be given out as first place prizes in the Men's Cat 4 and M35+ 4/5 races.
Bringing the family? Bring a bike for the fun kid's events at 10:40 along Caledonia.
T-shirts featuring the logo above will be sold at the event for $20, and everyone who places in a race will get one too.
Did we mention that net proceeds from the event and T-shirt sales will benefit some charities selected by Sausalito? See the Sausalito page for details.
What if it's showering? Races run rain or shine. Tony Tom remembers the one year it rained for this race being completely crash-free...

BIG THANKS TO ALL OUR RACE SPONSORS AND VOLUNTEERS
