This will be my first attempt at a 50k MTB “race”. These days, I know better than to bite off more than I can chew, so I’m electing to register for the 50K (not the 100!). I’m planning on treating this event more as a training ride than a race, with an eye to Carrabbasett, my A-event, the following month.
Whiteface, which used to be a Leadville qualifier, starts and finishes just outside of Lake Placid. The terrain, while not terribly technical, promises 3,000 feet of elevation gain, and will, I’m sure, be quite the challenge for me racing or not.
