Genetics have failed me
Mmm... this sounds like fun. Maybe the 30+ field. But I don't know if I'm ready to crank out 50 miles at race speed. The longest I've done this year is 45 miles at a lousy 17mph. Not only that, but I'm sure there are some monsters in the 30+ field.

Not sure. Debating this over the BFNIC ride. Think I might be more in the mood for the BFNIC ride (cheaper at least). The gravel has me thinking I might want to do this though. I have no fear and a nice gravel section could give me an advantage.

So maybe the cat4 field then. I thought that the 30+ is prolly stacked with 1/2/3's.
OTOH... with ABR i'm still a 5 I assume, since I only have a USCF license.

This one gets me...
I want to race it because there are like what, 5 road races in the midwest and 3/5 are more like circuit races with 3 mile loops. On the other hand, I want upgrade points for USAC and toward that there is no reason to do any ABR race.
I'm on the fence for this one... though I'm leaning toward doing it.
