Not a huge fan of Joe Martin, though I've only done it once.
Cascade is kickass
Mt. Hood is fecking hard, though I think the non-elites do a shorter lamer version
If you want to go east Fitchburg is a great race, though the town itself is kind of depressing

I can't think of any crits worth traveling for. Definitely get on the track though, it's like an entire hour long crit condensed into 5-10 minutes, three times a night. Mistakes are not easily forgiven without the ability to shift, you HAVE to be smart.
