The season-opening Boulevard Road Race is tommorrow in East San Diego County.
Usually this race has a number of professional riders taking part in spite of its non-existent
prizelist. Many are here for the warm winter training.
In past years, Mercury would dominate, but at this season it looks like Horsetoof won't be in
business. The team that has the numbers looks to be Schroeder since they're starting their training
camp this weekend and will field a full squad. Usually there are a few Postals along with a
smattering of serious riders from other teams.
The course has something for everyone - long tempo climbs (~3 miles), crosswinds, anaerobic rollers.
The local guys usually struggle just to finish. Once riders explode, they usually aren't too keen on
riding the entire 90 miles on their own. You can't soft-pedal that course even if there's no wind.
I predict one of the Shroeder riders will win because they have the numbers.
As for local riders, I'll pick Chris Daggs (THE FORCE) to finish in second. That man is a force to
be reckoned with. Just ask him.
