The races are waaayyy more spectator friendly. My kids can race and cheer, and go play when I get "serious". The Promoters here in SoCal are awesome, great races, courses, and they put their hearts into giving us a great season-Read the messageboards for socalcycling.com and you'll see that the road scene is nowhere near as welcoming. The racing itself is kinda punk-rock, and that takes me back to the good young days, just playing in a bike (but i'm still gonna try to tear your legs off in the…

It's mostly a sense of community for me - folks cheering on each other - barbeques - and in general, spectating more than racing.<br />
<br />
there's also the simple, motivating mission to ride a pretty simple bike over anything presented to me as fast as possible, without needing 5 inches of travel.<br />
