Frostbike pre-ride x3

Finally got the spoke fixed on the mtb on thursday, just in time for some pre-riding on friday and saturday. Took off from Lock 8 park friday morning with Derek from the SHCC who showed me the loop, thanks. Back there that night for a 6:30 start with Rob Watt for another lap and again this morning with DeCal for a lap and then a little more.

Overall, course is pretty fast for mountain biking in the winter. Not too much ice, DeCal was doing better than I was and I had the studs while he was riding on Rocket Rons. Tomorow is going to be one lap with studs and one lap with Rocket Rons for me. For a detailed review of the course check out Jeff Kerton's blog (on the right side of mine because I don't know how to link haha).

Crash count was defenitively somewhere in the 30s over the 3 days. A couple good highlights; branch up the ass, missed gap right into a tree, knee off a rock, hip smashed off a tree, countless front-wheel-washouts-to-supermans are some of them.

Pretty stoked for tomorow, goal is to get on the podium but we'll see what race day brings.

  1. We took care of that evil branch for you and I tried to limit the front wheel washouts by removing thick snow piles.

    Going to be good tomorrow. As you mentioned the course is a bit faster. Good luck, have fun.
