The route and distance were great! especially the leslie spit(riding through there at night was super fun, nothing but silence and blinky lights in the distance) and the bluffs. I just thought it was ironic that half the reason for the event was introducing track bikes at a race that was clearly for road bikes. other than the abrupt ending and the winner being a dick, the race was cool as hell!
