Tom Bamford Classic

With the Tom Bamford Classics exclusion from the Commerce Bank Triple Crown it is now open to us mortals. You know, the ones with 40+ hour jobs. This is a fantasic race. A super short 6 block lap criterium with four 90 degree turns. Simple right? While Lancaster is by no means a mountainous region, it's not dead flat either. This crit is no exception to this general rule. The first few laps shouldn't do much to those of us racing but by the end you will certainly see struggling faces climbing towards turn 4. They will be greeted with the begining phases of a construction project on the Lancaster Square that ARRO is designing/engineering. I was already excited for this race because it is the first year I will be able to race it and it goes past the downtown Issac's (it's actually just before the start/finish line) about 5000 times. Now we will see ARRO signs pulling us up that little incline for even more motivation.
At our team meeting everyone was on board to race this race (before we even knew about the ARRO deal) so this should peek their interest even more. I'm sending them an e-mail now. Out.
