I can’t decide whether to make the 6 hour, 375 mile drive up to Copperopolis for the 63 mile road race on Saturday, or bail on that and hit the Del Mar and Ontario pair of crits down south that weekend instead.
Copperopolis is supposed to be an amazing race on amazingly bad roads so thats kinda plus and minus. My biggest hesitation is that its a long drive for one race when I can stay much closer to home and get two crits in. I used to think road races were my thing, but I’ve been doing much better in crits lately and getting killed in the road races. So add to the 6 hours each way the likelyhood that I will get dropped off the back, my hesitation increases.
But on the other hand, Del Mar is pretty far away too, and Ontario is a minute 4/5 mixed race, I’ve already paid for Coperoppolis, and so has Chester.
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRG!
Opinions, advice, or whatever would be be greatly appreciated.
You should go because Im already pre registered and will not have a ride up there otherwise- plus its going to crash city down in SOcal.

B’sides, there’s lots more Ontario crit thingies, aren’t there?
Del Mar = cool place, but long drive
