A friend just sent this link to me about the possible return of the famous Morgal Bismark road race.

To make the link even more crazy....I'm actually in that race in the video!! I was in the boys 14 category. For those of you who follow pro racing, there were some other skinny twirps at that race in the video. A certain Johnny Vaughters was in the boy's 13 category. A former Tour de France racer, he now pilots the US's most popular Pro Tour team. Chris Wherry was in my category and went on to be US Pro Road Champ.
Cool. I hope they do bring back that race course, but I really would like to see those kid's races return. Some of the best talent in our pro ranks came out of that series. Where else can a 15 year old kid race 7 day stage races through Boulder, Vail, Denver complete with team time trials, road and criterium events, start houses for the TTs, etc.
