Goodluck Salsa! I want a race report, I'm planning on doing it next year and it will be my first mntn bike race too.

Do you know much about the race? I think it's 26 miles and I hear it is very sandy, however, by the time the women ride it is pretty well rutted out and shouldn't be too bad. Most of it is 2-tracks. I hope you have good weather. DH has raced Iceman a lot and has actually won it several times.
