So, after doing my first mountain bike race last month, the first place girl asked if I wanted to do a 6 hour with her. I've never ridden the course as it's more than an hour away and my road riding schedule is pretty tight. I plan to preride it on Saturday (the race is THIS Sunday).

Neither one of us have done a 6 hour, in fact, our first race at all was the one she came in first and me second!

What to bring, how to do the transition area, etc. Weather looks like it will be nice ~ 85 compared to the 95 we've expereinced most of this month.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've looked at the 24 hour race suggestions and think they are great, but obviously we have different needs doing just 6 hours versus 24. A 24 hour woul dbe AWESOME. Maybe next year.

Thanks all,
Jeni
