• Comments: I am not too fond of running loops, especially not on a feeder road. Riding on the inside lane reduces the number of traffic cross overs to worry about, but it also meant that we had to cross traffic to get back in the inside lane at the turn aroound. If the turn around had been in the center (like the super sprint was) that could have been different. The lake was a little too shallow, but would probably be better in a year with more rain. However, that was good for my wife who got through the Super sprint successfully. I only have 2 races to compare but I'll say that the Kemah race site and handout was much more polished. However, this seems like a much smaller race.
