[QUOTE="the Eel, post: 1240210, member: 19952"] I made the first check on time, the next I missed by 15 seconds, then zeroed the next. OK - not too bad. This is really demanding riding - it's so tight that maintaining your balance becomes very important. I was definitely struggling with it and riding way too tight. Plus gear selection is critical. I was definitely not smooth. There were big roots to go up and over and now I know what they're talking about when they say roots are slippery - I crashed off my first one pretty good. Front wheel goes up and over but when the rear wheel hits it just spins and the back slides out across the face of the log/root. Unfortunately I also lost my rear brake somewhere along the way - I think I hit a stump or rock and messed it up bad enough so it wasn't working. By the time I reached the first gas at 28 miles I was hurting pretty bad. They had cookies, coffee and drinks at the stop. Nice touch. I leave the gas stop and the rest is just brutal singletrack for basically the next 62 miles. And I mean brutal singletrack for me. I probably made hundreds and hundreds of turns. You think Training Wheels uses a lot of turns ? LOL. Stumps, roots, turns, turns, turns. During this race I personally dragged my bike over nearly a dozen logs across the trail. I would have ridden over these logs if I could have. At this point I was dropping 20 minutes, then 35 minutes, and eventually was just in survival mode in a bad way .... [/QUOTE]
