Am super excited to once again have a chance to ride the course ridden by pro's. I recall a race at Holla Trails in April this year. Alan commented that it was a flat and fast course, and am thinking, what about the gravel road hill towards the end. This is where MTB is miles ahead other sports - getting amateurs racing same course as pro's.
