From memory it's a tight course that favours MTB skills. Get there
early & ride a lap before race start.

Go hard from the start, being such a tight course its in your favour to
"be passed", rather than 'to pass'. When you hit the open sections, give
it hell, and try to hold your position.....

enjoy..

Had to buy a birthday present for 3 yo nephew and daughter asked how I
knew what to get. I said it was easy because little boys and big boys
all like the same things. When I got to the toy truck stand and found
the truck that had me going PHWOOOOOOAAARRRRRRR I knew I had the right one.
