Went out for 2 laps. not too hard out on the first. slammed on the gas on the second. pretty quiet. only about 4 riders i saw.
fair few puddles and wet patches though.
could be faster.
avg 187hr, max 206, min 175

Fine work young squire! Some of those old dogs will be in the hurt box with a sub 30 like that.... Smiling

Keep up the good work.

Ever had your bike position (read biomechanics) PROPERLY sorted out? I stress properly as there are many stimpys offering advice who should leave well alone ....

Just reminded me of when I was your age and the difference it can make that I wasn't fully aware of back then, (very critical if your doing any racing)

A mere change in bike position took me from 7min 30's/40's for a hot lap so to speak of oxford falls XC circuit to a PB of 7mins 14 sec for a hot lap.

Just a thought...

I had thoughts of getting my bike pro fitted . But just at the rate I'm growing, it isn't worth it. I'm waiting on a 70mm stem. It will be shorter and lowe, hopefully getting me a slighty better position.
I'm riding a hardtail, I've been told a few times that I'm probably a little too light for it (64kg) especially when the bike is 10.8 kg. The rear of the bike flicks up a bit here and there.
But I'm sure a better fitting would do me a decent amount of help
