Sleepy Hollow is kinda lame. Think of buck hill but half as tall and 1/4 as long. lots of laps on a very short course.

The Decorah Time Trials are incredible. I have never raced them but the trails there are worth the trip and the suffering.

The Nebraska series at Branched oak is ok. never raced it but if I remember correctly from a friend of min ewho puts it on it is a long rolling high speed course.

I'll second Decorah... I've done that race twice, in '99 and last spring. Last spring, it was like 33 degrees and sleeting and aside from having to walk a lot of the course (the long sidehill part) bue to the mud it was still fun. They always have a ton of schwag and a fun awards ceremony at T Bocks. Highly recommended....
