    1. Ok, having suffered thru a season of races, I can say I agree with you on the fun factor here. Great, great course at the screamer. Fast, flowy, nowhere near the 1500' climbing that nearly killed me elsewhere this summer. That said, the race in CB was fun for novelty, festivities, venue, scenery- but again there's that climbing thang. ;-) Oak Flat was fun for the level of participation amongst local riders, fun after race socializing. La Tierra was a fun social event too. Hmmm... I'm sensing a preference pattern there~ mike
