2015 MASTERS NATIONALS-CRITERIUM PREVIEW

By John Mckee

Masters Nationals is rapidly upon us. I am bypassing the TT and Road Race. All good events but I spotlight the criterium because I am in it and that is the main form of racing in Socal. There are of course TTs and road races and good ones too!
The USAC has come up with a ranking system which is quite good. It ranks riders based on how they perform with other ranked riders. It favors Socal riders in the criterium because there are so many on the calendar. Listed below are all the predicted races for Nationals in each age group starting at 55-59. Good luck to everyone that is going. My old saying "Train hard and race safe" doesn't really fit but do race safe! Hope to see as many Socal riders on the podium as possible.
