Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

We are moving to Bend in the early summer, so we though we might hit up some of the weekly crits and TT's. Is this a good way to get our feet wet? Other suggestions? any races out there that are good for beginners?
