First Star Chase of the season.  Dan Martin will lead a 4* ride, followed by a 3* ride led by Ron Townsend using the same course.  The 4* ride will maintain a 4* pace.  Any 4* riders unable to keep up will be dropped, to be picked up by the trailing 3* group.  The 3* group will not leave anyone behind. 

If you are not sure how well your winter conditioning prepared you for the upcoming season, this is your chance to find out.
