It is everyone’s favorite race in July. You know what race I am talking about, and it has nothing to do with France. Well, maybe if you count champagne, it does have a thing or two to do with France.  Champagne and bikes.  Yeah, that will work.  Bike racing at its very best. San Rafael Twilight Criterium presented by Project Sport. Hands down, my favorite race. Ever. If you had asked me what is the one race I wanted to win? Yeah, it would be the SRT. Hometown crowd, big...
