We rode the 1/2 bike course this weekend...it's TOUGH!! Did you ride the recently revised course? Apparently they're going back to the 2004 course but either way, the hills are still there including everyone's favorite climb up Sugarloaf! |

Veteran 224 Greenville, SC | Subject: RE: Great Floridian Half Peter, I'm looking at the 2 different course maps (I had the old one printed out) and I can't decide which course is tougher. Without riding both, I think they are about even. Plus' and minuses on both. The one piece of advice I would give is that as you are coming around the lake at the beginning, make sure you get in a granny gear before taking the left on Jalarmy. It's very short but steep and catches a lot of people off guard as they are hammering around the lake. Good luck to everyone coming this way....Brett |

Master 1480 Plant City, FL | Subject: RE: Great Floridian Half We have ridden both courses. The latest one doesn't go around the lake, but out to never land and back. There are a few rollers, and a couple of tight turns with immediate hills. Make sure ya'll wear sunscreen! I was COOKED last weekend!! |

Veteran 224 Greenville, SC | Subject: RE: Great Floridian Half You might want to check back to see if you rode the latest. It looks like Fred didn't post the new course maps until this past Monday, the 26th. I could easily be wrong though. |

Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: Great Floridian Half The 2004 course has the dreaded SR19 on it (yuck!) I am just waiting for someone to get squished like a bug (hopefully it won't be me). I agree about the hill on Jalarmy it is quite steep but short. What stinks is the Buckhill rollers right before Sugarloaf. |

Sugarloaf wasn't as bad as I remember, the 3 climbs on Buckhill are what threw off my momentum. Got back into on the backside of Sugarloaf. My guess is that riders new to the course will hammer the 1st 30 miles unsuspecting Buckhill & Sugarloaf. |
