I confess to being a tad nervous before the event, especially about how much faster everyone else would be and how technical the circuit would be. I had many images in my head of being overtaken ... mainly whilst I was pushing my bike.
My kind of technical difficulty - taped course on grass. |
Serious recovery. God I hate that Iron Brew. |
What was it like? both brilliant and painful at the same time. I had a huge smile on my face at the end, but I hurt myself inside and paid a bit for my efforts that night. Anyway, below is my (likely) last attempt at bicycle videoing ... I've come to realise that a bike just isn't a good platform from which to operate a video camera, even if it is a bike specific camera built for the purpose, but I'm almost happy with this effort so I hope you enjoy (NB. This won't work in the USA due to copyright issues over the soundtrack).
Kim and I each completed four laps, so a total of eight, and I was pretty happy with that. Kim crashed once and lost her chain twice but I think was pretty happy as well. I can't recall anything too serious happening to me on the way around. I did however spot this up and coming talent on the day and I'm already talking to his manager about getting him into our team next year ...
I don't think this young guy got off his bike during the whole 6 hours, |
