If you're familiar with Carnegie, this race encorporates most of everything the East half of Carnegie has to offer. It's challenging at speed, but fun and very doable. If the Piglet doesn't give you any trouble (difficulty wise), you'll be fine. If anything on the East side of Carnegie makes you nervous or keeps you away, plan on riding it during the race.
Natalie, you'll be fine. Just ride the first lap at "your own pace" to see what the loop is like. If you don't like it, call it a day after the first loop. If it isn't too bad, get on the gas and do another loop. After your second loop, the race will be over. Try it, you'll like it... :laugh:
