Nice - a few changes from the past but the roads were all good. Right near the end there were 3-4 big holes but I would hope they will fill those in.
I had an 11/23 on a 50/34 and was fine. I could have pushed a 10 cog on a few of the down hills. Most of the route is on Blue Star Hwy almost an out and back with a short circle to get the miles and avoid a section without shoulder. You need to use the down hills on the first half. Nice apron on the sides of the roads. The turn around has you spend some time under the trees on a bike path and then back on Blue Star all the way back. The return felt like a long slow up hill but maybe I was tired.
I only made one bad turn out on the eastern circle (for an extra 10 miles) but I'm sure the course will be well marked.
There are two long up hill sections about 8 miles out nice marked with notes about how hard you are suffering :-).
It should be. fast course.
