RR, Glad you are doing Pesky. We will be working registration. It is a very hard course with lots of places to attack. I think the hardest part will be Haskins Hill. My suggestion is to find a local hill similar to Haskins and do some hard efforts on it. Stage Road has some bumps and depending on the wind can be tough as well. However, if you are ready for Haskins, Stage Road should not be a problem. Also, work on descending skills and look at some videos on how to handle hairpin turns. There are some very technical sections on Stage Road and the descent right after the Haskins climb is very fast and somewhat technical. We have course marshals at all the difficult corners and intersections plus we inspect the course before the start. However, conditions can change so be on guard for dirt/gravel on the tight corners.
