As a p.s., I test rode a Focus bike around for two laps before the Elite
women today and let me tell you, the course was still alternately wet and
frozen and you really couldn't tell sometimes which was which but yes Ron,an
absolutely brillant layout. Where the pavement transistion is before the
off -camber hill it has a big lip with black ice because it's in the shade
and both laps at least one girl went down even with a guy telling you to
beware of it. That had to hurt on a pre-ride. And sadly Matt, I found myself
behind the dudes with the capes, who I'll call Cape Fear forever more,
because they were far too cautious around far too many turns and I couldn't
shake 'em. I didn't see what happened firsthand to Aaron but I know he was
there to race.----- Original Message -----
