EX2 continues to set the standard. I have yet to encounter a better organized race series. The price is right, the organization is right, the staff are right, and the trails are right. There's nothing wrong - in my opinion - with EX2 races. I have no suggestions for improvement. Love the sound tracks. The breakfast burritos are half the reason I attend. Wakefield is a good course for starting the season at the end of winter. Not too technical and few hills. It's a good warm up for those of us who haven't been as active in the winter as we are in the warmer months. Even if the weather has been sloppy, the course stays in good shape.
