3rd place for BMORC - Awaba 7hr
For some reason I can't link to the original calendar entry through BMORC but below relates to this race; http://nobmob.com/node/42470
Round 3 of the Singletrack Mind series was back at Awaba. Awaba is a really fun track to ride and pretty fun to race on too.
Craig and I headed up on Saturday and got in a couple of recce laps - luckily we did; Camel Back was bunted off, forcing you up Straw. There was also a new section of track not long after that was loose, off-camber and quite technical. Great for riding, not so good for racing with people of differing abilities around.
First longer solo lap race
Have entered a number of shorter marathon races and team lap races in the past, but this was the first solo lap race i've done (maybe a 7 hour race was a bit crazy!). My training has been getting better and so I thought "why not" , lets see what happens.
I've raced at Awaba before in a pairs team and struggled towards the end with cramp. Therefore I knew I needed to self seed pretty well and start at the back. For the first 2 laps I felt pretty comfortable (averaging around 49 min laps). This was a good period to just practice on the course and not worry about people passing me.
Withdrawn: Cannondale CAAD9 60cm
Hi All,
So it times to move my CAAD 9 on to a new home.
The Frame is the last of the handmade in USA frames Cannondale produced. The frame is a perfect Crit/road racer for both novice and elite alike, the bike has ulterga 6600 series shifter and rear derailuar and brakes. SRAM force carbon crank and 105 front derailuar. The wheels are a nice solid set of TWE wheels that are shod with almost new Schwable Durano tyres.
The bike is rounded out with a set of Carbon FSA bars and Cannondale stem and seat post along with a WTB seat finish it off.
Filling a Void
A little piece I wrote on my birthday a few weeks ago... Just thought I'd post it here for anyone who's interested.
Before I start, I just want to say right up front that this is written by a bloke, about blokes. There are many women out there who are way better mountain bikers than I'll ever be, and no doubt have great stories to tell. But this is about blokes.
