[NCNCA] Vacaville Grand Prix

[laurie fenech]

Vacaville Grand Prix will happen Sunday, July 1st.
  http://www.velopromo.com/  It is a challenging
  course with a hill that will spank you.
  I want to welcome you all to Vacaville, home
of the Vaquero. It will be a downtown race venue 
  (historic highway 40) and a great place to bring your 
  family. The race course outlines a heavily shaded park. 
  A museum and ice skating rink are a few blocks 
  away from the start/finish line. There are 
  plenty small locally owned restaurants nearby, coffee 
shops too. Everyone is welcomed to use the state
of the art Gold's Gym facilities (minimal fee), including, pool, 
hot tub and sauna.  A spin class will be held at 8:30 AM.
   
  Vacaville has plenty of rural roads for pre 
  or post race riding.  Pleasants Valley Road is a main 
  bicyclist artery; if you head South you can reach Lagoon 
  Valley/Pena Adobe (mostly flat), and the cool part is that 
  you will be riding on the historic Pony Express Route and 
  you will pass a stage stop on Cherry Glen Road (13 miles). 
  If you head North on Pleasants Valley Road (flat with rollers), 
  you can reach the Berressa Dam (out and back 35 miles), 
  or turn right at Putah Creek Road (Solano Regional Park) and 
  return to Vacaville via a part of the Winter's Road Race (32 miles).  
  Currently, Cantelow is being resurfaced and it is knee deep in 
  gravel.  
   
  Fresh fruit and locally made olive oil can be found along 
  Pleasants Valley Road, or on North Orchard at the 
  local fruit stand.
   
  If the hill does not spank you perhaps the weather will.
  Be prepared for 90 degree temperatures, be well hydrated.
  I think I covered it, if you have any lodging questions,
  I can offer assistance.  Safe Racing.
