I think that depends on your personal situtaion. I have a family as most of us have and can not stay away from home all the weekends of the year, therefore I like the oneday events close to home. I am lucky and will have 5 of them within 3 hours from home next year. I don´t care what status they have.

Just to correct things:

Grüningen 2002 Chris Linford set a course that was not used in the race. It was decided that it was too challenging for most of the racers because most of them did not make it to the 5th cone.

2003 was set by me
2004 was set by Chris Linford again
2005 was set by Ramon
