course is out and back with three nice hills but fast finish....but forget the race....the post race picnic is tops in the city -- we're talking free regular and craft beer out of kegs, hot pizza and wings, hoagies, donuts...plus the post race setting is tops as well...natural open grove.course is out and back with three nice hills but fast finish....but forget the race....the post race picnic is tops in the city -- we're talking free regular and craft beer out of kegs, hot pizza and wings, hoagies, donuts...plus the post race setting is tops as well...natural open grove.

accurate youtube race preview with good commentary. only thing i'd say is the first mile might've been the hardest given the quick hairpin turn and rolling hills. sewer hill was the steepest just after m1 but it wasn't as long as i'd thought. last mile is fast and beautiful along the coast. getting to start was fairly painless given good shuttle service
