fig 8 courses are cool. i like some elevation change, stay in big ring, but need a 23 on the back. totally flat and technical i struggle with, for some reason, i corner way better when my speed is partly generated by gravity than when i have to pedal into the turn.
that being said, i have fun on stupid industrial park crits with sweeping turns too.
i'm not a fan of 180s or picking stuff that is what i would call "tricked" up, and i hate bad pavement. i'm small and get bounced around alot on it.
