The pace up the hill will be faster than you think. Trust me there a few guys there who can really rain the pain on that small hill. The 5 field in prospect this year has been one the fastest in a while, so don't be surprised if it become a hammerfest.
I've been racing as a 5 there all year, best advice I can give is to BECAREFUL ON THE DOWNHILL. It gets pretty squirlly especially at the end of the race.
Pcad, you racing the masters race?
