Blue Streak TT - Fatty Style

 

Back on the fatty at Blue Streak. I had one heck of race on my tt bike last month. The rest of the year is on the fatty. I have other races planned on the tt bike. I was still feeling Saturday's race effort & this lingering head cold. 20.2 mph avg tho on a fatty is great. It's stupid, but fun. haha Buz did a great ride on his fatty with Tebow on the road bike. T.Bolt put in a good effort on the tt bike. Fun stuff!

Venga!

Forty Five Race Vid

The Forty Five - Fatty Style

It's been 7 years since I've done this race. Wow! I picked up a head cold Thursday morning, I almost didn't go. I also had a gig Saturday night which makes a long day. Many races are on gig dates this year or have been cancelled. I had to race though. I left Friday night. Sunny early with temps 61 at the the start. Overcast 68 at the finish. Perfect. This race is a mix of single track, pavement, gravel & two track. 2,5 mile paved climb followed by 8 miles of single track. I started last and worked my way up to a nice group going into the single track. I was on my rigid fatty, so the rooty sections were a bit bouncy, hehe 

I finished the single track then on pavement for 5 miles. I felt great rolling those big tires. haha Then gravel. I missed the turn on to Middle Ridge. It looked different than it used to. I went quarter mile farther then turned around costing me 2 minutes. arggg. It was time to head back. More gravel then pavement finishing with 8 miles of single track. 4 miles to go. The trail split. The tape looked  to go right, but it was the wrong way. lol I added a bit more mileage again. Despite my head cold, I felt great. 16th Place / 2nd 50 - 59. Man, Bummed I added some mileage as I would have won my age group and been 13th. Racing a fatty is a workout, but also fun. I had to head home to my gig, so I missed the podium awards. My Forty Five ended up 48 miles. lol  Good stuff!

Venga!

MoMBA Monday

 

Busy day, but got out around 6:00. The rain is coming, so I got in another day of single track. Easy spin, but the trails were great! 

Venga!
