I did the CNC ride in 2001. I didn't appreciate that they over-sold and under-supplied the food plan, but I really liked the route. We started in the mountains and as the week wore on, the terrain got flatter. The last day was almost a sprint; and my buddy (on a GRR) and I (on my V-Rex) acquired a tail of about 20 other riders. At the time, I had just bought my Baron, but it wasn't in proper shape to ride yet.
I heard that the management changed a year or two later, but I never went back. I may revisit it someday. It would be super-fun on a lowracer.
