SOOOOOOooooooooooooo, I really think the adventure racing is going to be fun! Competition but all with a big heaping load of good times. Looking ahead and wanting to try it out I went out to Coulson Hill and did a Wednesday night bike race!!!!!! TA-DA! Oh ya, last place baby, but it was a lot of fun. I did the pre-ride of the course. Seemed straight forward enough...yup...hills I can't climb but what the heck. Hop off the bike and run er up there to the top. Chain came off twice, and two silly falls (lack of experience got me huggin a tree and rolling in the dirt) but I did the two lap minimum race requirement (plus the warm up lap). I now know I need to do a lot more endurance training and get my confidence up on the trails. Thanks to the guys at Spoke O Motion in Newmarket and especially Myles who encouraged me to give it a try as it is just a fun event open to everyone who wants to have fun! I'm hooked :)
Happy Trails
Great job!! congrats!
ReplyDeleteI think you did an awesome job out there! It's never too soon (or too late) to have new experiences. You will also be amazed at how quickly your skills will improve as you get some more offroad miles on your legs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming out and I'll see you next Wednesday. Remember: It's the Norco Factory Demo Day so maybe you can try a different bike and not deal with your chain issue!
Cheers,
Myles
