V - any recommendations on which spinnervals are good ones? I just got back from PT. Nine weeks post accident and I still have swelling in my wrist. There's enough frustration right there to make me want to sit down and cry.

bcipam, this particular race is about 850 ft of climbing per mile and it's a 13.5 mile course of technical singletrack and ski trails. To compete with the other women (not the experts), I'll have to average 10-11 mph. Right now I'm about slow to average. I can still do it for fun, but it's always nice to see improvement in your own personal best.
