[Punk-Biker940]

I am going to the Arizona National at the end of the month and we need to kno how big the track is and what gear I should use. I am at a 40,15 and if i should go up or down or anything. Any one who has been there let me kno!

It is about like Rad (at least at the Falls it was). The track is much longer than Rad, or it just feels like it. I would recommend just sticking with what you have on right now, see how it feels during your first practice. Then you will know whether to gain or drop a tooth or not. Hope this helps.

Alex - great news you are going to make it!

I (erg..my kids) have never raced Black Mountain, but tracks are tracks and they are all different and require different gearing. I try to go to each track with two gear inches above and below in my gear bag. This is a little extreme, but prepares me for the worst.

Like Trav suggested, I would gear for Rad outdoor. The problem is that you have not raced Rad outdoor in a while and may be ready to go up a tooth. In this case I would suggest gearing for what you ran at the last outdoor and relying on the rest of us to help you out from there. You are more than welcome to any gear in my bag and I will help you set up. Either way, I think you will be fine. There will be plenty of people to help you out..
