I am doing a race this saturday as a novice.
the race:

the circuit:
http://www.ottawabicycleclub.ca/grandprix/circuit.shtml
I will be doing 2 laps of it.
Last monday I went on a ride in that hilly area, and i averaged 36.6kph with my slow trek 520. I am borowing a bike that fits me nicely with old dura-ace stuff on it. I did a small ride with it, and what a difference. so I hope ill go much faster up the hills, since its a much lighter bike.... and the wheels, OMG they keep on spinning!!!
two weeks a go i also did my first time trial :

I am tied in 30th place that day. I beat another member of the same club(WQW) by 57 seconds and he had a cervelo soloist carbon (drool). But he didnn't have aero bars.
