    I 100% agree- for different reasons- if you let the course be known early you will get HAMMERED from the peanut gallery 2nd guessing what you should have done. Do yourselves a favor and just keep it to yourselves till the saturday before. The people who will complain about this are the same ones who will stab you in the back if you post it up early.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    X2. Locals have an advantage by being locals thus knowing every rock and root in the place. That should be enough. The thought of directing a race makes me cringe. You folks are good people.

    it's Sylvan Island

    the rocks and roots morph and evolve

    we ride there year after year, mile after mile, and most of us still don't know every rock and root in the place

    BUT, I *completely* understand what you're saying...Sylvan is just a completely different animal and yes, I am all for the practice of keeping the actual race course "hidden" until the very last minute.
