I think it's a great idea to see the course before competing on it. I found it to be true in Madison this weekend. Have you heard about the Griffin Ride the Lake event?
Nic, I have seen that Griffen Race the Lake, I have a level of interest but I need to see what else is happening around those dates. Seems like it would be a fun race, a long ride for me but if you got a good day it would be a blast I think.
How was the High Cliff course? One nasty hill up front! Otherwise good? Hopefully we can meet at this race if time permits?
