Day one - nationals at Louisville, Ky.

Day one at Joe Creason park started out pretty cold but dry. The course appears to be about 95% turf. This of course will change to mud when the predicted rain shows up on the weekend . Unlike last year, the course features some steep uphills and no less than three sets of stairs, two of them being stone. There's a set of UCI height barriers as well. I got to ride the course today and found the lap to be pretty 'heavy' with the turf and climbs making it tough to get any speed. This is a good thing as the lap will take longer and people worrying about being lapped will have less to worry about. That said, punchy climbers will have fun on this course.
