Has anyone done this before?
I'm wondering whether feed stations every 10 miles means I can get away without lugging a camelbak round. 2 x 1l bottles should be sufficient between stops I reckon (?)

I'm registered. Anyone else driving up from NYC? I'd rather not foot the gas bill alone...

I've messed up my right knee again so trying to ride a 40 miles race probably wouldn't be sensible Sad

seabass use the camel back+ the 2 bottles .You can't drink enough .They do a real good job with this race & the feed stations R good .But man this is a hard race.Because it is so long like 4 + hours good luck U all.& Remember to drink up .
