The STBikes Cat’s Hill Classic is tomorrow - it’s gonna be a beautiful day for the race, so come on out! We have almost 600 pre-registered riders, and will get dozens more tomorrow, so there will be a ton of exciting racing. And don't forget the fun race for the little kids at 12:30!

Most of us in the Los Gatos Bicycle Racing Club work our fannies off to put on this race, particularly those of us on the Cat’s Hill Committee. This evening, we all show up to prepare the course for tomorrow’s race, sweeping the course (that’s always what I do), hanging up signs, placing the barricades and hay bales on the corners so we can put them up at the crack of dawn tomorrow. We get everything in place so we can set-up as quickly as possible in the morning.

I shot an email to Anthony of Cycling.tv about the STBikes Cat’s Hill race this morning, and he gave us a nice plug on the Giro webcast. He always calls me Velogirl instead of Velogal, in spite of all the emails over the past two years. Local cycling fans sometimes think it is someone from the Velogirls Cycling Team that is emailing him...

Another McEwen finish at the Giro Stage 6 - exciting and rough. A couple of crashes in the run-in. One looked like a Discovery Channel guy, but I couldn’t find out who it was and if they are OK. And I saw a T-Mobil rider go down - hope it wasn’t Jan - kinda looked like him... Pollack is now in the maglia rosa. Remember he was the guy who I thought was a jerk for soaking the photogs with champagne at the Tour of California... He sprayed everyone this morning, but didn’t soak them, nor the podium girls. Paolo soaked the podies at the beginning of the Giro - I just think it is not cool to do that....

The photo was taken during the 2005 Cat’s Hill Classic, when I had a moment away from doing the Podium shots.... I’ll be out on the racecourse starting at about 6:30 tomorrow morning and we’ll probably finish taking down the barricades, announcer’s stand and cleaning up the course by 7 pm or later tomorrow night...

If you’re in the Bay Area, come on down to Los Gatos for a great day of racing...
