I'm not sure which edition this is of the AMA 5K but I have raced it the last couple of years. The race is always well attended for an early year race and very well coordinated. This year's proceeds benefit M.E.R.C.Y. Communities. I'm not sure how many participates there were this year but probably around 75 hardy souls participated. Definitely HardyBreed worthy.

What started my thoughts on this subject was when I started watching the Amgen Tour of … [Read more...]
WOW! I have never been so psyched for a race on American soil since the days of the Tour de Trump. Sunday marks the prologue of the 8-stage, 650 mile Amgen Tour of California (TOC).
