Results are up....I ended up in 10th, Tony 12th. Must have been way quicker this race and much more depth. My time for 10th would have been 2nd in race 1.

Lukedog over 2 mins faster than the first race as well. Ezra continues to nip at Tony' heels - he did 5 laps too.

and i could have been on the podium with you....but that wasn't how it happened

Thats not the point...just trying to say how much quicker this race was compared to the first. Must have been a lot of the guys from the other west side summer series racing as well.

yes i know but we were still too slow. we need trail snail there for inspiration. just to see how much we can whip his lycra running butt

That is true...he may actually be faster runningicon_mrgreen

Turn it up!

I'll be back out in the the white lycra tomorrow to skool you boys in the art of pedal dancing. Not sure if I'll meet you at Pete's, Tony's or somewhere in between. Don't wait for me cos' I won't be waiting for you when I get to the end of Ford Rd.

Planning to make the "Regular Tuesday and Thursday Morning Suffer Fest". Kudos to you guys who braved the rain on Tuesday. Will see you somewhere between Pete's and Tony's.

FRF is on in Abu Dhabi - no rain in sight for the next year.

Only problem is its on the spin cycle, no way I'm taking a bike on those roads.

Did some gondola runs in queenstown yesterday. Awesome. Was a late change of plan - rain is forecast later in the week. Spec Status was booked out so hired the Nukeproof Scalp instead. It rocked. First full face experience for me. First knee pads experience for me, not to mention DH. Off to go trekking - hope the forecast is wrong and I can have more hooting down Original, hammies and tackle more of the black runs with elbow pads after that, next weekend. No strava times yet Snail. Your white Lycra would fit right in. Outside sports guy rated the Nukeproof over the status. And the specialized demo above that. Tempted to go with what I know & stick with the Nukeproof. Very forgiving MZ bomber 888 forks. The yeti (or at lest my wheels) would be in bits... Even if I managed to stay on it.
