Anyone racing in this one on the 15th??

I am going to do it.  First race for me ever.  Can't wait.

Deciding on what Class to race in.  I ruled out "First Time Beginner" for sure.  Advanced Beginner or Sport is the question.  Sport is 23 miles and AB is 12.5.   I am not going out to break any speed records...just to have a good time and get my "feet wet"

Thoughts? 

I handle myself pretty well at The Wiss.... even better now with my new Niner.   Grin  I heard this place is Wiss without the rock and big hills.  I am gonna try and head down there this weekend.

I am going down on Sunday and then again next Friday. I am thinking I will do AB as I have not raced in many years and when I did, I was close to DFL anyway..

I'd say go for Sport class and get more miles in. Especially if you can do a full lap of Wiss, which would be around 20 miles if you take the long route.

My first year of racing I started in Sport and it was very hard but I survived. I kinda think I should have done a year of Beginner because I could have made the podium more which would have been cool. Either way have fun.

Late notice. I've got plenty of room if anyone wants to carpool. Sport starts at 11 I'll probably be on the road by 9. Call me in the morning. 215 783 1036
