First Road Race - Ozarks Hellbender

I have registered for my first race and I am a little nervous about the whole deal. The race is the Ozark's Hellbender and it is a 70 mile race consisting of two laps of 35-miles each. I think that this type of race is well suited to my riding style...A lot of hills and the opportunity to power pedal up those hills.

The nerve-racking part is that I will probably be going to the race solo. Most of the people in the racing group I joined like to do local races vs. travel for 6 hours.

I plan on riding the C-dale Lampre Caffita. The one pictured below almost identical to the one I'll be riding.Wish me luck!
