good race, one of my favorites. unfortunately I'll miss it this year. the hills take their toll, but lower categories tend to be more attrition than anything else, so be patience tends to pay off. top of old hundred hill is a great place to attack if you can go long (like 7 miles long). if not, the finishing hill is nearly +/-700M, very very loong at the end of a race and steepest at the top. attack the dragon at its head, not its tail, and look out for those that went too soon, they'll be cramped up and in a trackstand about 75M from the finishing line.
