Excellent venue and event, very well organized, gorgeous setting. Perfect course for KP, with some extended upgrades (the opening one is 2 miles @ average grade of 2%), screaming descents, amazing views/scenery. About the only downside is the road surface isn't ideal in all spots, but frankly that bothered me in training, not today. The 'damn the torpedos go fast' adrenaline was such that it was essentially a non-factor on race day. Cool vibe, warm bathrooms with toilet paper. I've been to many bike races, this one was about as good as they get.
