We pre-rode the course today. Two words: holy croly! I think this is one of the toughest courses I've ever seen. It's all up or down on one side with a long, steep run-up and three extended climbs that if you boff you'll be running. The other side of the course is flat but the promoter created multiple chicanes through the trees -- very narrow and there's no way you can ride them fast.
I struggled with the pre-ride. It probably didn't help that about an hour before I'd finished co-leading our co-ed singles ride. I think I rode too hard -- lots of pressure when you're the leader of a co-ed ride. But I met some nice guys!!! Oh, and then I had a burrito. So, there was zero blood in my legs when I was trying to climb those darned hills.
Woe is me!!!
