I’ll keep this short and simple: arrived at 6:30 for morning of bib pick up (which I do appreciate but with a field this small, is a no-brainer). No one was there. Gates were still closed.
Pick up bib. No chip. Bill later announced that they weren’t going to “do a big production” and they’d be taking down times manually.
The course, for a bike path, is actually very pretty! It is two loops though so … pretty boring as well.

All “Elite Sports California” races are a joke. Packet pickups are unorganized, they still use those crappy reusable timing chips, courses are painfully boring, age group “prizes” are usually cheap. Races get cancelled for no reason and it’s impossible to get a refund or transfer. Race director doesn’t pay his charities. He is a crook that is just out to put money in his pocket by putting on cheap, poorly run events. Serious road racers need to avoid these at all costs.
