STXC (Short track cross country) July 6th


A friend took this picture, but of course i'm only at the liftoff of my air journey- I think it's pretty good snap, this was taken over the finish line. This is a cross country mountain bike race for about 30mins. and for me it's one gear, no bloody shock absorbers. There is only one category for single gear which means you get a field of really fast people. For me finishing around 30th out of 60 is good. I'm working on getting better, mainly my bike handling, cornering, honing in on my gear ratio and so forth, my fitness is there, but my lines and familiarity of a single gear is not. It can only get better I hope!

if you had been riding regular 26" mtn bike wheels you would have been 5" off the ground instead of 3.
