hey guys,...i'm going to race these darkhorse 40 but i'm kind of confusing a bit. recently i race on SS class in sports class,but the expert class was also 40 mile.so,...wich one is right class for me i hope someone can give me an advice.thanks!

That is correct, both sport and expert do 40 miles. It's a matter of pace, not mileage. Expect the faster experts to pull race times somewhere around the 3-hour flat mark, average 11-13mph...If you race sport around here, race in the sport class, especially if you haven't done a longer race yet, 40 miles is a lot longer than it sounds
