Husky 100 - fun day out

My fastest time ever by over an hour, and a complete contrast to the Canberra race that shall not be named.

Riding single speed geared 32:18 was way too spinny and i was managing the cramping situation from about 50 kays. Despite the flatness i was working hard the whole way and really felt it at the end when a train came past me and i couldn't jump on - i just waved it goodbye and kept my own pace through.

It was a really fun course, the single track was dry and fast. Fun A lines with one little bridge that i remember being pretty skinny. A bit flat maybe, but next time i would gear up a bit larger, maybe 2:1. This would make the flats more enjoyable (and mean i could get away from other riders rather than yo-yoing all day).

All in all a highly recommended low key event, well marked (I didn't get lost but sometimes thought i was so just enough markers), not many marshalls (so you felt you were out there) and friendly competitors.

Really glad i did this it was fun
