I don't think riding a SS will kill you. You've been riding it a lot, so chances are you'll kick buttocks.

The trails are not very technical and there is a lot of room to pass (in my opinion)... I recall fire roads often enough. Not hilly like Tymor. The longest climb is in the prologue on the fire road 🙂 I think??? I don't know what places you've ridden, but I know you've ridden Clayton...it's like Clayton on steroids.

 

[southernerinnj]

Ohhh Clayton 😀 Good thing my i do my trailer training there hehe

Ooh! I had a front row seat for that crash :scared: I couldn't belive you got right up from that. I was limping back to the line myself after my own disastrous lap.
Guess I need a little redempton myself.

[Robson]

How long is one loop this year?

 

[Norm]

6.5 miles

 

[walter]

plus the prologue?

 

[Purple Liquid]

plus the prologue?

Nah that's per lap. The prologue will add another 1.5 miles on top of that, so roughly 8 miles for the first lap.

I'm excited to be racing again. School is over and the flu is gone. Lets see how I hold up in Cat 1. 19-29:getsome:

 

[walter]

OK, so prologue will only be going into first lap?
