1st weekend in March. Historically I am fat and slow that weekend. Not in '09.
100 mile RR with long gravel sections, punctuated by steep climbs.
I lived in Baton Rouge and rode my bike (albeit not aggressively; I was a pregnant college student at the time) and the only hills I saw were levees and overpasses. Where are the hills of which you speak?
