Anyone know the race route? There's a good chance my house will be on the route, in which case I'll play host to partying cyclists.

Route isn't confirmed yet, but I've seen a few options. None of which excite me all that much, but I'll probably still race it and work the wheel pit.

I wish they would NOT move it. I like the fast and flat track they have. It is exciting and very spectator friendly. Don't some of the other weekend races have more "challenging" courses?

They do. Snake Alley is a climber's paradise, and Melon City has the backside climb and front stretch descent with the speed bump. I think the idea that racer's are looking for more challenging courses is a cop-out. That's a brutal weekend of racing and after 3 races of hills, the flat and fast course in Rock Island is looked forward to. The new course will be less spectator-friendly going through McClellan Heights and I expect parking to be disastrous since The Village can hardly handle parking for the Friday/Saturday night bars.
