State Road Race Pre-Ride

Made a trip to Rolla/Newburg today to check out the raod race course for next weeks St Race. Downloaded the Garmin data, check it out here. It will be interesting to compare the difference from today's ride effort vs. race effort. Not sure what I think of the course, will have to decide after the race. I do know this, the biggest hill 20 miles into the race will determine the lead break, 13% is the steepest point, short but steep, mile long at the most.

Here are a few shots.
