Which of these 3 events would be most popular?

Ok looking to do one of 3 major Mt Bike events in and around Minnesota and Wisconsin in August 2012

I need an opinion of what one would be the best option to travel too.

Due to popularity and number of participants

So heres 3 events and locations and links.

Please tell me what you think would you most want to go to.

First one is a 100 mile event mt bike in Ironton, MN , Cuyuna Lakes
MN Rusty Ride event
https://mnrustyride.com/


Second one is part of the Minnesota MTB series in Superior Wisconsin at the local Ski hill
more of a traditional mountain bike event

https://www.mnmtbseries.com/page/show/4838

Part of the series, mix of different events


3rd option is the Subaru Cup in Nordic Mountain or like custer Wisconson
https://www.subarucup.com/

Event with all the pros there, several events, citizen events and pro events for spectators.

From all of these what event would you prefer to go to?
they are all on the same dates.

So help me decide please.
thanks

First "which mt bike to buy?", now "which mtb event should I go to?" Really???

If it's too hard to make a decision, roll the dice or put the names in a hat a draw.

Take the whole month of August and road trip to all three.

OP is looking for people who have been on one or all of the events. If you couldn't decided what to do with your weekend, someone saying, "I went to THIS one. The riding is amazing, the parties are legendary and I barely got chlamydia!" would make up your mind.
