I couldnt find a thread about this so if this is a repost, then MY BAD YO. So i have my first alleycat coming up at the end of this month. its not like i expect to show up and blow the competition away, especially since i am an inexperienced racer on a uhhh, lets say less than stellar ride (steel schwinn road frame conversion, generic/mismatched wheelset, so-so cranks/bb) but i would like to make a decent showing at least. i think i can take the "leisure riders" as i commute 10 miles each way every day and take several of the biggest hills in the city on my way so I am somewhat conditioned, but i was wondering if some experienced racers could chime in with any tips in preparation and for race day itself. Thanks for any help.
