I did it last year for the first time (CAT4 Women) and will do it again and hope for a better finish. I haven't looked at registration but would like to sign up as 35+ or 45+ CAT 4. No matter, I'm in.
That hill and u-turn are very interesting, how the front of the pack slows down and before you know it you're braking to keep from rear-ending someone who was a couple bike lengths ahead of you mere seconds ago.
It was my first official crit and I remember it being very fast.
