Dilemma: on Saturday, should I stay home and race the Monsters of the Midway criterium with a lot of teammates [a race that will net no USAC upgrade points]; or should I drive three hours to the Denzer Delight road race which if I do well will give me upgrade points, but which has a mile long sustained climb. That I'll have to ride twice.

The Monsters' course isn't interesting. But its a team target race and I'd like to race hard with a plan and with strong teammates. And I wouldn't have to pay for gas and, if I drive up Friday evening, lodging. And I've been out of town for the past two weekends. And I'd probably have to drive to Denzer alone.

The Denzer Delight course sounds super fun. And I prefer road racing to crits. I'm not a natural climber, but I'd love to see what I could do on that course. And upgrade points are harder to come by since USAC changed the rules, so I should take every opportunity.

I can't decide.
