Sunday's race info

Information about Sunday's Championnat's d'Auvergne can be found here.

My race is the élites féminines (also known as the women's long course race - 'elite' is probably a misnomer for the majority of us in the race) at 2:50 p.m. It's 6010m, so just about 3.75 miles.

Driving to Lyon last weekend, we passed just outside Thiers, and I'm afraid it's hilly. There's also a significant layer of snow on the ground here in Montlucon, so I imagine at the higher altitude in Thiers, it will be even snowier.

Enough whining: Time goals are irrelevant, and I just want to qualify for the inter-regional championship in another two weeks.
