I've got my first race this coming Sunday. Just some dumb questions.....
Just how stacked will the competition be? I have a feeling I am going to get my ass kicked. I'll be racing in the "beginner 30-39" division. I know it depends on who enters, how good I ride, blah blah blah. I'm just looking for a general idea. I am confident in my ability, but I have never really measured myself against other riders.
The CamelBak: Yay or nay? Do racers actually ride with them in a race?
What do I carry for supplies? I've got a spare tube, tire levers, CO2 (to be purchased) and a pump, and a multi-tool.
That's all I can think of for now, but I am sure I'll come up with more questions.
