First Mountain Bike Ride 2010: A Study in Contrasts

1C in the morning and 23C in the afternoon

The solitude of an early morning training ride replaced with the excitement of a group ride

Riding with new friends, and pacing with old buddies

Ice on the lake and sweat on my brow

Fatigue in my legs and a smile on my face

An old race course reborn

  6. I will race 40/16 if the conditions are good. Last year was 38/16. Hal: 36/18 (?), Luk 36/17 (?) and can spin like a pin wheel... but both are on big wheels. You?
