Alpenrose is kind of a love it or hate it type of course. I hate it. I love Barlow. Barlow comes before Alpenrose - it's not about shape. I felt great on both courses, just had way more fun at Barlow. But if it makes you feel better then sure, whatever floats your boat. :) Nice try, C.

Don't get me wrong, I had a blast yesterday, but Alpenrose is my course nemesis... It's always one thing or another... Yesterday it was a poor start (I was all.the.way.in.the.back) and a loose stem that resulted in wheel going left and handlebars going right... last year it was a dented rim, etc... Yesterday was fun though, and I will keep coming back for more at Alpenrose each year.
