Fantastic place for a criterium!

Rio Vista, CA ! The downturn in the housing market caught Shea Homes with their pants down. The Liberty development is on permanent hold. How do we get a bike race here? Ample Parking, easy to view the entire course from the roof of your car. traffic not an issue.

I don’t know where that is, but it’s freakin awesome for crits. The possibilities are endless. Wish we had something like that down here. Very, very cool - E

Wow. Could you imagine? The possibilities are endless.

The irony may be that, if the developeers were sideways-thinking enough, they could host racing and training days and nights here and probably collect a little revenue and build a lot of good will. Who knows, one of the cyclists may actually buy a house in the development if it ever gets finished…

Vey interesting photo.

Oh my. That’s my heaven.

NorCal. South of Sacramento.

I think there’s even room for a velodrome!

Nice, but methinks it wants a hill. :slight_smile:

Riding around there does look like it’d be nice (except I bet it’s windy as fuck), but living there (or even near there)…? Not so much.

OK, let’s say you get a caterpillar tractor out there and make some cool mounds and banked turns on the dirt, tap into the fire hydrants and make some mud puddles. Then you have a criterium AND a cylocross race on the same day! The best of both worlds.

The first thing I thought about was the lack of shade… and the crazy designs that the crit could do… especially with the roundabout
