Single track overload - where the hell am I?
Some dark moments intertwined with some fun. A tale of two halfs where the second was a struggle. Followed another rider up a hill that turned out to be a wrong turn early on the second loop, that cost a few minutes. Need to work on eating and drinking whilst on ST as I didn't consume enough. Glad to have completed it, maybe next time I'll do the 50km....
Well done to all on riding what was a tough course.

Has anyone heard/used one of these ones? According to them you will have basically 2 chainrings in one?

Kowalski Fun
On the back of a decent Capital Punishment result this year I was hopeful of a sub 3hr finish. I started in wave 4 towards the front and made progress through the traffic until my seat clamp failed leaving me with no choice but to jump off and fix it whilst loads of riders I'd worked hard to pass went by.
This would happen a total of 3 times and by such time I knew a sub 3hr was out the window. I also knew the energy I'd spent making ground up would cost me. Sure enough, the last 15km were hard with the last 7km really hard.

Old Man's Valley update for 23 Sep
Glorious day out there today. So much better with the extended sections. Took a big group of kids down ages 8 to 11, and just hung out down the bottom all morning, riding without having to climb to the top again, just needs a few trees planted in the middle of the green loop for a little more shade. The new dark blue section at the bottom is inspiring to ride. Flows like nothing I've ever ridden before.

Kowalski DNF
I haven't spent much time on the mtb in the last six months but thought I'd give this one a go. I had to take 4 panadeine (not all at once) the morning before the race as I wasn't feeling well but still lined up.
Once the kow bell went and we were off up the first hill and into the single track. I was going okay but my body wasn't happy so 10km in I made the decision to just ride the 50.
Once I backed off it actually became quite enjoyable. I ended up riding a lot of it with Michelle Ainsworth who won the 50 overall which was good.

Still damp after the creek, but nothing major. Great to have the Dam open again !
