The fast guys are most likely tri athletes or roadies. .
All I'm saying is that it is kind of like Big Fish Little Pond so try to even out the playing field a bit.
This event does pull a lot of FAST roadies-most are tri-athletes but if you've got some skill and lungs, you can hold them-- you can for sure
Quite frankly, I feel Monmouth county doesn't particularly like us MTBR's and for them to put on a MTB race... is weird because its....A- Tatum is a park that doesn't have much traffic at all- (it was a laughing stock with the infamous Tatum Tea posts)... and B- JORBA comes to support the cause but the county wont allow them to maintain trails....
Am I the only one who thinks this race should be at Hartshorne or Huber even, IMO the two most ridden Monmouth county parks.
