Eco classic at Motegi Apr 11/12

Got the details yesterday.
Anyone else going?
Looks like the 75km road race goes the wrong way around the track.
So there will be more up than down...

 

[kiwisimon]

but more tail winds than head winds do you have a link to the event?

Good luck, Keith, it's a great event. Regretting not signing up now.

Is the road race going clockwise, same as the 100km? Does it combine the oval, or just the road circuit?

 

[zenbiker]

Looks like the same course as the 100k but going the other way.

Ah, okay. Same direction as the enduro then. I actually think it's the faster direction--the hill is a lot steeper, but a lot shorter, too, so you can power over it and then recover on the long downhill section.

Still, the hill is where most of the attrition occurs. I usually tried to be near the front of the pack going through the underpass, that way I could lose positions and still be in the group at the top. 'Course, everyone else was trying to do the same thing...
