Too Crazy for Me
I tried to go once in Flagstaff. Except I made the mistake of actually riding my bike before hand on local Flag trails, and came back around 1 o'clock to find absolute NAU chaos infecting the who thing. Lines were 3 blocks long just to get in, and were filled with people who knew nothing of bicycles. I was really turned off to the whole thing. And having it in Tempe sounds even worse, a ton more kids, and heat.
Sorry to sound like a wet rag. The one in Fort Collins or Portland sounds a lot better to me.
I'm gonna spend my time and energy at an actual riding event, like the Tour of the White Mountains, camp, enjoy the music, and share my beers with people who actually ride.
