Yeah, that's called cross country, just grab your mountain bike and wait until spring. You'll find there are lots of them on the OBRA calender.

Perhaps they could have an option for stream crossings with a ramp. For the brave and lucky, you jump the river Dukes Of Hazard Style and every one else has to ford.
On a more serious note, it would be cool to have at least one race with out laps. One continuous cross-country course stretched out over 5 miles. No chance to really dial in a course. Rather, the rider has to adapt as the obstacles come. This would be harder for the spectator, but a lot more fun for the rider.
Cheers

Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with crossing streams. But make sure they're not too deep cuz that just favors the tall guys, like Trebon and Wicks, who don't need any help. Of course, I don't ride in their category so it wouldn't really matter that much.

OBRA 'crossers have no problem with fording streams. When the Halloween race was at the Flying M, Steve Truesdale rerouted the course through the 2-foot-deep river for the preride, and you idiots just happily rode through it. The only complaint I heard was that the water was cold -- no one questioned having it on the route. I think some of them were actually disappointed to learn that wouldn't be part of the race.

Don't let Brad Ross see this or we'll be fording streams next year.
