When i think of the Wente Crit I think of….
It is a circuit race littered with ambulances, weird sweeping turns, and long, windy final stretch. And yet there is something about a road race and crit back to back, under the hot Livermore sun that is kind of cool…
For some reason it always brings out the local big guns…
Which is good for at least one killer photo in that crazy last lap.
There is always a winner.

BTW, that was the only ambulance of the day, Men’s Cat 3/4 field. Hint to all of you racers out there. Don’t argue with the EMT! That is a sure fire way to secure yourself a very expensive ride to the hospital. Big props to Hernandito, who trashed the Wente Crit last year on this site, only to show up this year, and animate the P/1/2 race.
