I loved the run-up that Brian put in out in the woods at the Cross-The-Way Halloween venue. True backcountry. I like lots of turns at moderate and high speed and seriously burly run-ups. None of this sissy grass-crit BS!! Anything that makes the Mountain Bikers squeamish and the Roadies cry makes it feel like cross. If I'm riding in a straight line for more than about 20 seconds it feels like too much.<br />

I agree.<br />
We have a race that includes riding up along and down five old grass covered WW11 air raid shelters in quick succesion. Getting it right meant riding to the top and just about stalling but being in a position to hit the next one and the next one etc. Dismounting for them cost about 15 metres per lap.

my favorite course features are ones that require a rider to make a decision. do I try to ride the entire hill and risk stalling? or try to roll half way up (with the lost art of the down tube grab while coasting). or do I run after the barriers (before the hill, next barrier, turn) or get back on the bike? attempt to hop a low barrier? which line to take on a tricky off camber?<br />
<br />
these are the types of features that I think make for interesting racing and spectating compared to standard courses…

these are the types of features that I think make for interesting racing and spectating compared to standard courses that force everyone to do the same thing.

I really want to do more PDX crusade races this year, high on the priority list for this year.
