I loved the course but unfortunetly I was having mechanical issues the whole race. I need to do some work to my chain line. I thought it was straight but a couple of my friends looked at it and said that it was off a little. So I need to take it in a bit up front. Other than that the bike did great it was my first race on a single speed. The only problem I had with the course was that first muddy hill section. But it was disappointing having problems with my chain. It was impossible to catch up after it continued to walk off. I ended up running the last half of the course because I was so sick of fixing it. My preride it didn't fall off once.

I was running a 39x16 which might have been a bit much. I could handle it the whole race except for that hill. Are you racing in PIR next week? I am going to race the single again after I do some work to it. I did definetly get some looks at my bike like WTF is that.
