There is also a race in Charleston SC called the Swamp Sweat. I have done it 2x now and it is worth attending. Date: Nov. 4, 2006 (Saturday) Time: Expert starts at 10am. Distance: 26 miles.

It is actually 26 miles of tight single track and plenty of competition. A lot of the VW team guys race and Justin Fisher who races the Harbison and Cane Creek Races.
Let me know if you are interested. I will be there.

UPDATE to Hobby Park
WOW! The pros / experts 19 -29 class are fast. But I'll Take 7th out of 13 on the 1st try. With hard core winter training maybe I will be competitive.

JOE....I might be intrested in that Charleston race myself!

Joe,

I am thinking about doing the SWANK ride in Pisgah instead on the 4th. It is like a mini-Assault with more/different single track. It is 42 miles. I think I will SS it. Peace.
