There are a lot of great road races happening in the Charlotte, NC area this weekend. The Dilworth Crit, the pro “big time” Presby Crit, and my favorite…. the NoDa Grand Prix.

Why is this Race so Awesome?

First, I’m biased as it is put on my team 36th Street Racing. Second, the community of NoDa comes out and supports this event. Third, there is ample amount of fun turns to cheer on, beer to drink and photos to take. Plus, the kids race is well worth the watching!

I don’t plan on waxing a poetic response to what is going on with Lance Armstrong or the doping scandal of the pro cycling folks. My buddy Josh did a good job of that already, read it here.

This video, shot locally in Charlotte, at a race put on by my friends and teammates of 36th Street Racing. This is why I love my job and my life.
