scotty Posted August 3, 2007 Share Doing the shorter 40k distance this year, my fitness sucks most of the time, it just sucks worse now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 6, 2007 Share Wind on the return turned this from an easy ride into a survival mission. Nice to know there are still value for money races around, got a T shirt, medal, muffin and energade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 X 2 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Morning Scotty, you didn't lie. The route wasn't that difficult, but the wind made it extremely difficult. I'm very glad that my buddy convinced me on arrival to do the 40km instead of the 90. As for the organization, I must say, it has been a long time since I received so many "freebies" with a race. And I haven't even pre-entered. The hospitality was also very good. Will definitely do this race again next year. There is talk that the date may move to September. Just a pitty I didn't meet you Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted August 6, 2007 Share Hi Backlash i was in the blue and white JMBC MTB kit, i was with the front group of about 6 till the 1st steep downhill doing about 70kmh when my bike started to shake and i stopped to check it, turns out it was just the wind. Chased to catch the bunch then just as i made contact, they put on a burst of speed leaving me to fend for myself. I picked up 3 other riders and we rode the rest of the way. Spidey, were you in that leading trio coming into the finish on the 90k, there was a bionic rider there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
