I found an empty parking lot that I would like to do it in. (Probably set up some cones)
Here is the link:

If you view it in satellite view it would be helpful.
The practice would obviously be to work on cornering and to just "practice crits".
Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks
what do i like? the safety (remote old airport parkinglot with no traffic) and the distance (1.8 miles so probably more of a circuit race practice)
what dont i like? if i could add anything- it would be an up-hill finish.
format? usually 40-50 mitues +2
course set up? depends on how many show. anything from show up and go... to cones and sweeping the corners.
tips? think safety. look thru every corner, check for sewer grates and curbs, sign posts, speed bumps. be aware of trafffic flow, and whether the locals will have a problem with you. spend some time finding a good location. we hunted for a few months before we found our current venue.
