did it once in a few years ago and got smoked. It's not that it was hard, so much that I was fat, out of shape and had no clue how to ride in a group.
The course isn't too tough. The first few miles are neutralized and then you're off. It's mostly rolling hills. The website is misleading because it only talks about a 10% descent. However, the race is an out and back course so a 10% descent means you had to go up that grade first. I remember thinking that it was a btch of a climb. Again, keep in mind that I was way out of shape.
Also, I remember the race being a few miles longer than what was advertised---either that or my computer was off.
