Here's some info on a little shindig event race fest that's happening in March, brought to you by the organizers of Fifth Street Cross.
It's family-friendly, slow-people-friendly, and competitive-jackass-friendly. It'll be tough and hard and awful if you want to ride it that way, or a tootle-about hoot if you choose that, and there's likely to be a unruly gang of kids running around the sidewalk while their parents pedal off to protest the universe's right to entropy. Probably will last an hour or so.
Although one can never say for sure, with Armetta's right above the start line, it's also likely to be functioning-alcoholic-friendly, if you enjoy the spectacle of that sort of thing. Or you are one.
