Ride/Race Plans 2008

For the past several weeks, I've been getting a flurry of emails about MS150 training rides that are opening their online registration, and between that and the Leakey camp, I'm starting to get the event-planning bug.

So, without further ado, here's my planned list of events through June:

March 1 - Sam Houston Pedalfest gonna have to get a hall pass for this one since it's on a Saturday, but I'm really looking for the hilly rides this year.

March 9 - Continental Airlines Classic

March 15 - Tour de Houston I've never done this one, or ridden in downtown Houston. It'll be a nice change of pace.

March 22 - Urban Dare Austin Pending racing partner selection

April 6 - Space Race My pride demands that I do the real century course this year.

April 12-13 - BP MS150 I may be candy-assing it by staying at the Hyatt, but I'm gonna make up for it by taking the route through the park on the 2nd day. :)

(I have nothing planned for May because nothing looks interesting, but something may catch my eye between now and then)

June 8 - Danskin Triathlon Austin yes, triathlon. I figure this is a good one for my first time, since it's impossible to finish last AND they have swim angels.

June 22 - Urban Assault Ride Austin also pending a willing race partner. :P

After which I take the beastly-hot month of July off. Aaaand that's as far as I got in the planning. I really want to do the Bear Creek Duathlon again this year, but there's no information for this year's event yet. Ditto pretty much every ride/race in the latter half of the year, so i think planning through June is playing it safe. :)

Any recommendations for events I might have missed?
