Its nice having a race in your own hometown!
I had the opportunity to get out to the racecourse today and pre-ride the thing. There are some really fast parts, a few tough climbs, and 3 sets of barriers.
One dismount is a set of stairs to a paved section where the remount will be important. The next is a traditional set of double barriers on an up hil.
The final mandatory is a set of 3 huge logs laying out on the riverbank. There is a shicane right before this set of logs, so slowing is not a problem. I did my dismount/remount pretty fast in that section. The others, I was stinkin it up today....
Final area is a tough hill that I'm not sure I can climb. its pretty huge, so I will likely dismount and run up it.....
Rest of the course is either bumpy sodded areas, or fast trampled down trail areas.
Wish me luck......
