Idaho is really OBRA East, right? We were talking this weekend about what it would be like to have the kind of schedule that OBRA has and how much fun it would be to have so many events. I shot this video at our local Sandy Point race, which uses a postage stamp sized park. This is the good-times-fun-event video I shot but it shows how long and miserable the course is. 0% dirt, and 60 corners of 180 degrees. Take a peek.

Compared to the Hood River Double Cross course I raced a couple weeks earlier, this was miserable. The course itself was just not fun. No speed, all max effort, no flowy-fun parts.

The questions:

1) When we're happy to have events at all, how can our courses be more like Oregon?
2) Do you race courses where the designers try and make them miserable?

Thanks for the thoughts.
