Post Twisties
So I took the GPS files and put them in my Topo program (and then on the GPS).

Tight, Twisty mountains: Start to RM8 then RM42 to 63 with a TON of elevation changes (4,000 to 6850 ft and back). RM 77 to RM 80 is anothe canyon. Then RM104 to RM110 and RM147 to RM151. Looks like MAJOR switchback from RM153 to RM157. Serious mountain section from RM209 to RM227. Canyon from RM238 to RM243 and mountains continuing to RM275. More of the same on and off for the rest of the race with a serious pass/canyon from RM444 to the finish. So, yeah, the thing is, the mountain sections are actually really fast rally roads. That combined with a couple of 10 mile straightaways and we have the makings of a very fast racetrack. Good Times.
