Princebaal, I was at the race too and was very impressed. I plan on going to the Stillwater race as well. It sounds like the hill climbing is hellish.
It was cool to see Saturn's Tom Danielson, though he didn't podium. I've read that he's got a lot of promise and the potential to do the grand tours someday.
The speeds they're going are amazing. I haven't even gone 40 down a hill yet and my flat-road top is only 24 or 25. I can't imagine taking curves or riding in the pack at that speed.
