What an awesome time yesterday at the Big Ring Challenge, Cat 2 Mountain Bike race. If you have not done one of these, you need to sign up. The crowds are awesome, the people are very friendly and the laid back nature of the before and after is a welcome respite. However, the racing is anything but! I managed to stay upright and after a poor start, about Mile 18 I finally caught back up to the lead group. With some hard efforts I was able to squeeze by and with about 2 to go, I managed to get away and put in enough time to cross in first. I am not Jesse Robinson, so my pictures are normally terrible, but these came out quite good. Looking forward to some more Terra Firma racing in the very near future. Proud to support my Klean Athlete team kit!
