Other team's race reports... and tactics!
In line with my cycling obssession, I've found I quite enjoy reading the race reports posted by other teams in public forums, as well as their tactical plans. We at EMC/Vellum keep these among ourselves and I like to believe they are a bit more colorful. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this time sink as much as I do. Oh, the caveat here is that it's a lot more interesting to read a report from a race you were in, or at least observed or at the very least know someone else who was in the race. On the other hand, I perused this stuff like some sort of weird cyclist stalker all last year trying to decide what races to do and what team to join.
Total racer for RacerX 1998-2004: 0.
Total races for RacerX in 2005: 2.
Total for 2006 so far: 5.
Happy reading road freaks.
CVC, aka Central Valley Cycling - lot of reports - see 'Race Reports' forum,
plus a private team forum where I bet they keep all the juicey stuff:

San Jose Bicycle Club, aka 'SJBC', it's like one guy has the assignment to post a report:

Trumer Pils/Cyclesports, aka, 'the organge and white team':
http://www.teamoakland.com/forums/
Pegasus/Allegiant Air, aka 'contra costa cycling club' (C4):
http://www.c4racing.org/
(I especially like the post where one rider says, 'We should do our planning somewhere more private." or something like that):
The NCNCA Racing forum, has both selective "Race Coverage" race reports:

and an on-going forum with all sorts of chatter:

Of course the OV always describes his 35+1/2/3 or just plain P/1/2 escapades with inspiration and wit, (aka Mike Hernandez, Team Safeway):
