Chances are, few of us will get to the Tour de France any time soon,but in the meantime why not check out the Chevron Manhattan Beach Grand Prix?
The races start at 7:00am from Live Oak Park(1601 North Valley Drive) and continue through 2:00pm. This is a big deal, not just some local event.The course considered one of the more "technical" on the USA Cycling National Race Calendar. The MBGP draws more than 1,000 racers and 7,500 spectators.
In addition to the races, there is an antique bike show,food vendors and exhibitors offering bike accessories, clothing and "various nutritionals." (if you go, let me know what they mean...I'm thinking high end power bars, but I could be wrong)
The event is free, but Manhattan Beach is a kingdom of metered parking with serious enforcement, especially on a weekend. So bring a lot of quarters or your debit card, some sunscreen and have a great day!
