Just to add to your pain, Chris, you've got a couple Powerslide world team guys in the Elite Open race, too (Scott Arlidge and Felix Rijhnen). So, best of luck with that
. I'm skating with the 30-39 group which only has 5 guys right now. I basically plan to get dropped by Ron and Brian Oswald a few miles in and skate the rest of it alone. Or at least hook up with Wave A when they come by.... Or we can hope for a headwind so that speeds stay down and drafting becomes more important.
This could be a tough race.
