Completely understand, RHR surprised me on how hard it could be without really being technical at all.

Try Warda in the spring if you can and want to race. I have not ridden it yet but DH really wants me to go out to Warda to really boost my confidence. He thinks it is an excellent beginner's race course and I might even be ready for it.

He thinks RHR is hard for a race just because of the rocky climbs. You are ready to race but DH is even worried about RHR and how to pace himself so he is ready for the Wall and not blown up!
