Race Training...er..


With a mountainbike race coming up it was about time @charlotteeTCR got some time in on her mountain bike. With a lovely evening it wasn't hard to motivate ourselves to get out and about and find some mud to play on. I'd fitted a "granny" ring to C's bike and while the shifter and mech worked on the bike stand it's always good to get it tested in real conditions, you don't want it to fail in a race! Thankfully all was well and even though on todays terrain the lower gearing wasn't needed. When you come from predominantly road riding it takes a while to adjust to the low traction nature of off road, Charlotte has the fitness and just needs a bit of technique and she should do well
Ride 65
13 miles
Total 1237
commute 326.
