I liked it! I haven't rode a really good technical event like that in a while. unfortunately my mileage was off most the day and I managed to burn the first check by 1 minute, and check 4 by 2 minutes. otherwise would had a 9 putting me in top 5 OA.
I really like the new AMA set up and like the FIM, start on your minute and just pin it,,,,the fastest guy section by section wins. The time keeping is gone,,easy for avg spaz riders (like me) just to ride and not need to think very much or look down at the clock/mileage..... but I also realize the time keeping was to create a more even playing field for all riders, theoretically an amateur could beat the pros if he can keep the speed avg and maintain clock attention to detail. Its all good and this event looked epic with all the cool different types of sections both man made and natural (that was a very good twist) as well as the weather conditions. Glad you guys posted this one.
