Good morning everyone....

Sunshine on Tap.....Tomorrow, Saturday, May 31st is the 4th Annual Hammer Velo Crit, last year we had the biggest turn-out so far since we started putting this race on...Big fields on a wide open fast crit course....This year, Lets Race Bikes will be putting on a pre-race clinic at 8AM.....Racing starts at 8:30 and we have 14 cats going on throughout the day....
The Masters race is a focus this year as we are thanking Clark Henry for all his years of OBRA support and racing.....Day of registration will be open up to 20 minutes prior to each race......The sunshine will be out and highs in the 70's to 80 degrees and you can ride to the race, which is a huge bonus......We also will have a food vendor there so try and support them as much as you can....We also will have a Big Blue 55 gallon drum at the Registration area, taking donations of any types of cycling gear, from clothes to shoes to helmets....also backpacks and any other sporty type of clothes or shoes that will go to the kids at P:ear Mentor.....So please bring some items if you have them laying around and help the cycling friends at P:ear continue to do the great work they do with homeless kids....And last but not least, a list of our sponsors for Hammer Velo and this years race that are donating prizes and primes...We just want to thank them for all the help they give us during the year and for this once a year event.....We have some great prizes and primes for this years race.....
