I'm doing the sprint on Saturday as well.  Camping at Gunstock Friday and Saturday nights.  I heard the bike is tough.  I've never done it before.

I'm getting up there Thursday in hopes of scouting the bike course. Maybe I can contact a local who's done the race...

Subject: Well - the bike isn't flat!
Almost immediately out of transition you hit a good size hill - once to the top it flattens out for a while - then it's big rollers to the turnaround and back through the rollers to the flat section - the good news is the big hill out of transition is a big downhill back in. This last downhill is also a coned lane and no passing zone. The best piece of advice I can give you is when you rack your bike - leave it in an easier gear - that way you'll be ready for the hill!

Good luck and have Fun - it's totally doable!
