Last week I 'PR'd' (Personal Record) just Inside the top 100 Out of 259 riders In the Meadows, I ranked 95 on my second lap.
This week I ranked 74 out of 259 riders, shaved another 28 seconds on my first lap
The KOM did the run In 2:57 and the Local Hot shoe Is In second at 3:03 seconds. These guys are 30 and 26 years old,,, My time was 4:25
I'm real high on this little triumph, Me at 57 years young on a 28 pound full squish 27.5 bike while my guestimate Including the riders I know Is that 90-95% of the guys ahead of me are on sub 25 pound big dollar bikes and many are on super light carbon hard tails.
Not to mention many I have met are under forty
I'm going out tomorrow and get myself right back In the Hurt Locker. There Is this place In my head,,It keeps telling me, "This Is good stuff"
Oh and I almost forgot, I blew the final climb by downshifting too far, this caused me to blow most of my momentum.
I ended up crawling up the last rise in 1st gear and in the saddle.
When I did this my riding buddy blew past me on his single speed......
