You can still use Friday as a rest day, even if you go and pre-ride the course. Just don't go out at a hard pace - take your time to see where the best lines are, where you can up the speed a little bit, and where you need to be careful. This will also give you a good idea on where you can take a drink and eat.

As for the skills section - without seeing it, I can't help a lot. Remember to keep loose, don't look AT the object, but at the line you want to follow, keep your momentum, and trust in the bike.

I'm sure you will do well! We can't wait for the report .
