Maryland Pro Cycling Classic this Sunday Sept 4. maybe its own thread - maybe just a couple, 3-4 posts here.
I ride these roads all the time (though I may be down to zero koms (already - we have ballers round here - 2 local riders racing - Chaz Turmon and Scott McGill (potential top 5 - great finish) by the race end).

https://www.marylandcyclingclassic.us/ euros are starting to arrive and do local rides / school visits - pretty fun!
early prediction: Dylan Groen.. I think the race is pretty hard for the first 50 miles but as long as the break isnt stacked - its a much easier ride back to the city circuits and finish.
the break could be stacked cuz - Powless, Simmons, Robin Carpenter, Kyle Murphy.....
US national team is composed of some incredible local-ish talent : our club's elite team has our 2 u23 national champs Liam Flanagan and Patrick Welsh and our road captain Spencer Miller and local Alpecin rider Eddie Anderson and only 10 miles from the course Scott McGill (and a few Tour de L'Avenir guys).
Fun times to be a local fan!
