Thanks man. It's been a while since I cooked myself like that. I'm feeling pretty broken now.
My hands quads, neck and bothered me and I had even trouble shifting with my thumb.Like the day before, my partner again came in with exactly enough time left to start another lap. Unlike the day before though the lap needed to be finished by 2pm to be counted, and I had to press the issue. I was thoroughly struggling in the end.
Fox Creek, the race venue, is stunning. Really cool. Vistas of those re-growing hill tops that were fire affected just a few years ago, the ocean in the distance and pretty cool trails make it a great place to ride. Our course was more technical than I expected but I think I managed well enough.
That said, the proper DH tracks there are mental and not suitable for XC bikes. Away from the event crowd there was a whole contingent of people getting uplifts, and there's an awesome skills and jump section at the top of the whole thing.
