I've been here at the Romaniacs doing a media gig for Shane Cuthbertson (Canadian racer, ended up 9th overall in the Pro class). It is definitely gnarly. I'm thinking of racing the expert class as this stuff is more similar to what we ride in western Canada, but there's no way I'd race Pro (yet). Some of the Pro lines are flat insane. Shane was saying on day 3 there was a hill that it literally took 6 guys to LIFT (not drag, lift) up the top part of the hill. Even Geoff Aaron had to team up with another racer (Forrester, BMW factory racer) to get up the hill.

So yes, Romaniacs is THE toughest race in the world.
