Just 2 days to go until Mountain Mayhem (and the weather forecast is dry(!?) mmm… we’ll see…). Took the ‘race’ bike (geared Voodoo) out last night, as its not been used since Enduro 6 and had vague memories of it sounding quite unhealthy during the race. Confirmed at the top of the first climb to have a massively CREAKY bottom bracket (although running smooth?!). So with no time to faff/replace it, I’m opting for the singlespeed. Lap times will be no doubt slower, but it shouldn’t fail spectacularly and I’ve almost been exclusively riding it recently (and prefer riding it too, so there!) Sorry team.
Been pretty busy with bike related events recently (and been a bit lazy on the olde blog) I’m hoping to do a decent catch up but the brief version goes like:-
In reverse order:-
- Grizedale (Pottle around the North Face Trail - stag weekend)
- SSUK 09 (ace!) (Joint 4th)
- Brownbacks final race in series (1st in singlespeed category).
- MCR 10k (slow)
- Dyfi Enduro (rode with a friend and didn’t ‘race’)
- Enduro 6 (82nd/135)
- Brownbacks Race 1 (11th in category)
