If you're an N2 member and sign up for an Evolve event through the N2 site, there is no perceptible difference in whether you're N2 or Evolve when you show up. Evolve obviously runs things a little different in terms of their rider meeting, tech, etc, and it's just a little different "feel", but everything is very smooth. They don't even seem to recognize that you're N2 rather than Evolve. The only real "extra" step is that you'll have them stick an Evolve sticker on your bike. The Evolve guys - and Billy in particular - are very friendly and welcoming to the N2 crowd. From my perspective, the partnership between N2 and Evolve has been very successful.
