An Instant Classic?

This spring, Max recommended Punderson State Park as a venue for a Road Race. Chris and I finally took a ride down there today to recon possible routes through the park. It's really close to perfect for a circuit race. The terrain is rolling, there's probably a couple hundred feet of elevation gain per lap, there are sweeping turns, different views of the lake, high speed straightaways, and technical turns. Each lap would probably be 3-4 miles. Like the Covered Bridge course, it would be challenging, but the climbs are short and not too steep, so any rider can compete. There are plenty of opportunities for a break to get away, and the out and back sections of the course would give chasers a good view of their prey. There are a hundred potential stumbling blocks, but with some luck, we'll get this race off the ground in the fall or next spring.
