Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's a full two lanes wide- I think that's fair enough.
I wonder if moving the s/f line to the back straightaway would be more spectator friendly?
I've seen videos of people riding the Driveway crits- just couldn't find a map of the actual course- thanks! That looks like a really gorgeous course- almost like a golf course.
180's are fun. Keep them.

Does the newer version look any better with the addition of the extra turns?

Any problems with a single lane ascent and a single lane descent??
None of the promoters guides that I've seen discuss course design details or parameters.
Is there a handbook like that?? or should I just adapt race course designs?
