Why, oh Why, couldn't my start time be one row lower!!! Ok, so tomorrow will be the longest race of the season to date and I'm a bit scared. The beginners will be doing 17.25 miles while everyone else will ride 24 miles, including the clydesdale Men.
To be completely honest, this will be the longest distance I will have ridden on dirt the entire year. Plus, I hear there is a ton of climbing. Not what I wanted to hear from my teammates.
At the end of the last race, one of the riders in my category said that he believes that riders who have pre-ridden the course can easily knock two minutes off their time. I believe that. The only course I've pre-ridden this season was #2, which happens to be my best result of the series.
So, that being said; I would like to ask those who have pre-ridden the course to please sit back and allow those of us that haven't a two minute head start.
Please, I'll really, really, need it...

Yep, it is going to be an interesting race. I did a pre-ride, but a good part of it was wrong, so I don't have a good feel for it beyond the elevation profile that the added to the website. Weather could be a factor too, at least it won't be hot!
The race was fun, the weather was perfect (overcast), and the course was probably the best of the series.
Bill, you pre-rode the course, but even with the two minute head start, you still would have beat me! Well done!
