Yeah. I saw your bike when I was going into registration, but you were gone by the time I came out. I should have done a pre-ride myself. I spent the first lap taking the worst possible line everywhere, but I just could not keep my wheels underneath me the whole race.
I liked the course a lot. I would have liked to have done it later in the day when they started playing with the coffins. They were just putting them out when I passed the barriers on the last lap. I think I was the first person of the day to get to hurdle one though.
The climbs weren't as bad on Sunday as they were on Saturday. which was good for those of us on singlespeeds. I rode my Kona Jake on Saturday and it was definitely a better bike for the course. The Michelin Mud2's handled the mud so much better than the Maxxis Locust CX on my Gitane, and it was nice to have gears for the hills.
How did you do? What gear ratio did you use?
