Race Update: T-Minus 45 Days

Warmer temps has Spring knocking at the door. Looking closely at the early 2016 TBRA race schedule, a sense of excitement and nervousness sets in. It's been a long off-season and there are embers smoldering in the belly. All the more reason to weigh caution when balancing the serious nature of adding another set of intervals versus that 3rd donut.
Here's a little fire starter for you:
Returning for 2016, The Cedar Hill Criterium and The Hell of the South road race, race weekend is scheduled for Apr 9th & 10th. Maximizing your time in Nashville this Spring weekend, our devilish friends at Hell of the South have decided to add the Varken Berg Time Trial to their lineup! Our operatives tell us to expect a lumpy and intense (like our friend Marshall Bassett ) short 3 mile effort. An epic time trial course with flame throwers and beer(*two of these are for certain).  

Sunday, April 10th, the Cedar Hill Criterium returns for it's 5th year. We listed a number of exciting elements below, notably payout kickers for Cat 3 Women and Cat 2 Men, oh, and this fun community race video.
