First time club race
Simple upgrades to make for a first time racer?
Hello everyone!
A few friends and I from high school (NHSPA) are going to enter the first XC race my school has ever seen. Being my first (and my peers) race, I was hoping if anyone know's any small but effective/budget friendly upgrades to make to a bike in order to make it more race applicable? I own a 2011 spesh hardrock with 80mm of travel and we will be racing for the intermediate class mid june at yellomundee.
If there is anything extra someone would like to add, maybe about race nutrition, preparation or tactics - please feel free to share!
Cheers
Rueben
HMBA XC Round 6 - Awaba
First time racing at Awaba and in the HMBA XC series. Haven't ridden much since April due to both the rain and injury. The HR was racing averaging at 163 bpm and I felt every beat! Hope to get some more K's under the belt so that I can improve my position next time round.
Thoroughly enjoyed the track and had an awesome time hanging onto to the back of a few riders who managed to get away towards the end
