The Santa Cruz Flats Race 2009 is on!

Lasy year's most popular competition has changed dates to benefit from lingering monsoonal moisture that will hopefully bring cumulus this year. The dates are September 20-26 with a practice day on the 19th.

Registration opens Monday morning, 9 AM eastern time here: http://goflyxc.com/2009/santa_cruz_flats
