Because I don't want to keep scrolling down and loading the 2010 MABRA race calendar, I'm posting it up for my own reference. I'll be adding non-MABRA events that I'm interested in as they come up, and update this post for any changes.
Just for fun, I'm putting cash-money symbols by the races I'm doing. Zero cash means I'll be having more fun riding elsewhere; one ($) means I there is a slight chance I will race but don't care for that event or date; two ($$) mean I will probably race and if I do, I could care less for personal results; and three ($$$) mean that it's game on for Siggy because that is a bona-fide cash-money and awesome event.
Please do not confuse this crazy cash-money system with the training priority of my races (although you can probably take a hint by looking at July). It's about more the likelihood that I actually want to do these events, because some of them rock and I pretty much suck at cornering in technical crits.

This Calendar is incredible - kudos to all of the organizers and their clubs for filling up nearly eight full months. In 2009 I did 19 races, and I probably won't be going to many more events than that this coming season. However, I'll be doubling-up in Cat 3 and Pro/1/2/3 events more often which will tally up quickly.

Listen Bert.
I'm fine with you skipping Poolesville, being that its my main goal of the season and you'd be one less talented rider in the group, but you have to come ride with me out here sometime. My daily commute
contains a couple of gravel/dirt roads. You can't be jilted by a little bit of dirt.
Also, i got insider info that Vint Hill will have a CAT 3 race also.
C'mon now Andrew, I love riding the dirt and gravel roads! And as much as the demon inside me wants to race Poolesville, I don't trust other folks screaming into that sharp right-hander, I only have one bike, and I could probably serve the team better by working the event...
I say that now. Start foreshadowing.
PS, Vint Hill now gets $$ for being a cool little race near home. Hopefully they will have Cat 3.
It really isn't that bad. I made sure i led through the corner onto the dirt or was at least at the very front. Every takes the corner pretty easy because its the only to take it. I'm still gunning for you to be there.
Vint Hill...need not hope. its official. i got an email earlier from my old team mates.
HTFU
You can race P-ville and work it too.
Its just a little dirt.
I'd say Poolesville was a much less dramatic race than say Reston this year. Seriously its a fun time.
What are good races to sign up for somebody just getting into races? And when is the next clinic that you were telling me about?
