| Summers Solstice 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race at Albion Hills, 2nd lap. Dozed for 1/2 hour in chair, 3 hours in tent and got up at 11:20 pm for 00:46 am hand off from AD for a night lap. A bit cool at night but was beautiful once moving. Decided to drop speed to A/R pace and just enjoy the experience. On waiting on AD, heard a lot of stories on broken chains so decided to be easier on the equipment as a mechanical failure would be more catastropic than a slow time. Light set up was not ideal but good enough. Soon picked up a pack in one single track section with a noisy tail gunner though intermediate racers were fine. Letting the packs go by, was the night theme. Decided to use quad power on uphill rather than cadence spinning to save on chain and gears. It was very nice running moonlight, single tracks through the arboreal forest. Had a few "Whoose" type falls trying to let speed demons by but more embarrassed then damaged. Stops became a problem as my lenses on the eye protection would fog in the single digit temperatures and the dust thrown up by passing riders made visibility a problem in my headbeam. Back on double track I was slowed from poorer visibility as I was over driving my lighting capacity. Next time need handle bar and helmet units.
Nice ride but came in 17 minutes slower than first time and lost us a few positions. However, youth and experience in our other members was able to prevail and we finished 18 out of 127.
Great experience racing with the Tree Huggers and the green band was the "piece de resistance". Definitely a different experience than adventure racing but quite enjoyable competing in different mountain biking aspects.
