Raced SS. Beat a couple nemisisesses, or is that nemisi?
I'd do this race again.
Any race where they have a "buy 1 beer get a free beer to hand up to a thirsty SS racer special" is a good race in my book.
"Hey Minuteman racer looks like you need a beer!" was the best heckle I've heard in a while, but I'm not sure an Oatmeal Stout was the best option for me at the top of the run-up when I was red-lined.
There was a long power stretch, but a lot of ups downs and turns in the sand/pine needle forest that made it challenging. At least three places where the wheels left the ground.
I forgot how much SS hurts. Somehow I went into it thinking it would be fun. I was a little under-geared (50X24 on the RXS belt drive) which cost me on the power section, but helped on the multitude of steep dirt climbs.
