San Luis Obispo 2008
M y son, Sam was entered to race in the San Luis Obispo Downtown Criterium. It is an interesting 3 block 4 corner cicuit in Downtown San Luis Obispo. Part of the circuit goes through the courtyard of the San Luis Obispo Mission. It was raced on July 20, 2008. He races as a cat 4 rider and they had their race at 8am. Sam rides for the Roaring Mouse Team from San Francisco. He had one teammate, Ryan, race in his category. I got one picture of Ryan leading out Sam on one of the corners. Ryan finished in 16th place and Sam finished in 27th place for the day. Sam said he lost concentration towards the end of the race. There was a crash right at the finish line that I got some pictures of. Bergen, another Roaring Mouse Team Member, placed fourth in the Women's Race.
We then hung out and got some pictures of the other races and had lunch at Firestone Grill. Firestone has expanded their patio dining and now have three fireplaces with overhead lighting for a pleasant evening experience.
