• Comments: It's a small race, but it has a lot of fast racers, so check your ego at the door. I liked the fact that it was closer to Houston than most races that are in the 'burbs. Given it is flat, and it doesn't have a swim, the race also attracts some beginners. If you are a beginner, make sure you are comfortable on the bike, as lot of people will be passing you (it's a three lap course). Outloud's races are well run, but have less frills than OnUrMark... although they cost about $20 less. For example, there are no finishers medals. Frills are less important to the seasoned veteran, but may be important to someone doing a race for the first time.
