Hello OBRA,
Well, we have just 5 days until the Swan Island Rose Festival Criterium.
Everything is turning up roses for this year's race. If you haven't checked out the flyer, you can do so here:

Every sponsor listed on the flyer and quite a few that aren't listed are contributing to the race this year. We have some awesome prizes as well as a ton of cash for each race.

For starters, the Juniors will be receiving a 1+ hr race/training clinic both pre and post race. This clinic, sponsored by Knowledge Universe, is being put on by Upper Echelon Fitness. Contact Russell Cree for a run down on what you will be learning. It will definitely be a great opportunity to race one of the safest crits and learn new techniques, training tips, etc. So be sure to show up a little early and stick around for 45+ minutes afterwards.

For the women's races, Shibata Floral is providing roses to the top 3 women of each race. Cash and other prizes are up for grabs as well.

The men's races will all be vying for cash and great primes. For example, Thule have provided you with a chance to win one or more of their racks.

To top it all off, we have certificates from Grand Central Baking, excellent bottles of wine, Starbucks, Road IDs, PowerBar and tons of other prizes.

If you're hungry, we'll have Fuego Burrito on site.
HouserWorks will be leading out a few of our races on their spectacular Ducattis while Luciano provides us all a little insight and entertainment throughout the day.

We look forward to proving you an excellent race to kick off your 4th of July weekend and for those of you on the fence, stay tuned. We may just give you a little more incentive to come out.
