    Agreed.It definitely needs to be simplified.

    Joe Brown used to design the Tailwind courses - he did a good job.

    courses designed for cat 4s.
    grass crits with small MTB features.
    no cross skills required.
    paying cat 3/4 masters the same as the elites.
    gravel saturation.
    Mtbrs showing up and taking podiums with 2.2 tires on courses designed for mtbs.
    no series.
    no more clinics.
    If you put on a race last year, you were "deplorable"
