Here we go again - Race Schedule 2008

I have compiled some of the best athletes around the globe to review the RideCam race schedule for 2008. Some of these beasts I have had the pleasure of going to battle with all over the greater Mid-Atlantic area and beyond. Others are relative newcomers to the game, but have a keen sense of the glory which can be bestowed after slaying the demon known as competition.

Last year: Our numbers grew and we grew stronger. We looked beyond ourselves into other realms of the adventurous world of sport. We took the absurd and made it tangible. We drank more beer than any other living human.



This year: We awaken the sleeping giant that all athletes have feared. Oh, and have a shit ton more fun (I believe "shit ton" is metric) and drink more beer.

The schedule I devised incorporates all the disciplines I've come to love as a nut-jobber. Also, I've attempted to weave in events that everyone I've emailed would appreciate, because I enjoyed racing/training/talking trash with every single one of you.

On to the schedule. Only those races in bold are set in stone. Otherwise, I'm up for any changes suggestions, because I never get anything right the first go-round.
