They have a regular crit on my normal daily ride route. (Based on the criteria above, it'd fall into kind of a mid-range, I think). Anyway, it is on a subdivision loop where the streets have been built, but there aren't any houses. Zero. Which means, there really isn't any traffic to speak of. And the streets are new, as well. That kind of situation may be hard to find, though. (See the Texas forum for some photos and video from that course).
If you expect an audience, we don't like to stare into the sun to watch the race.
