Hi Bill, it is a good race with solid support. The bike course is challenging and there's a chance of strong winds like we had this year. There's also a good chance of a heat index in the high eighties to low nineties though it's been cooler on a few occasions. The areas around Clermont are being developed so traffic is growing. There is one section that can be a little unnerving with cars going by at 50mph+, but there is a shoulder/bike lane to ride on. The run has one significant hill and is then fairly flat from mile five on. Not much shade on the run. Great themed waterstops. The race course does change sometimes so none of this is guaranteed.
