I targeted this race for a good seeding race. Training has been good. My legs are coming on nicely but now I have trouble shaking my beerboep. I am sure I will bitch all the way up.

My Strava has the start at exactly 74.5 climbs till 78.5 and previously mentioned bump at 85 and 87.1.... last 2km nice little gentle rise to the finish :) oh and my total distance last year was 104km not 106km, so don't get caught out.

So clearly flattens out last 2k.  What is average gradient over the first 2.5km?  About 8%?

I haven't had an email back with any race info on it. Usually I get something to take with me to pick up my race number. Has everyone else had a conformation email?
