| Tour Da Woods 30 mile race. My first ever Mt. Bike Race.
It started out raining hard 10 minutes before the race started. At 9:30 it stopped and off we went about 60 folks doing the 30 miler, Twohey's son was doing the 15. It was a great trail ride lots of single track, some long strecthes of dirt road and lots of sand and grit flying up near the face. I stayed with Twohey the whole time, but the last stretch before the finish was a part called the goat path, it was rough and Twohey is much better in the tehcinal stuff, and me on the roads. This tandem bike couple asked if I was a roadie, well I said yes and let tthem pass me. On a road stretch I passed them and a few others to catch Twohey who wasn't about a 1/4 mile up.
I bit it a couple of times in the heavy sand, but it was a nice soft landing.
Everytime I had to bust back up to Towhey who never bite it.
In the end it was a great day for riding and a fun race, |
