First bike race ever….I’d say it was fairly successful. I learned a lot and will definitely do another. Raced in the Clyde division and took 13 of 18 with a time of 1:16:36. I was on track to meet my goal of around 1:07 ish but had a flat front about half way though…..took forever(or felt like forever with everyone flying by) to change that thing then one of the lessons learned was to make sure I have two CO2 cartridges for my tire…for some reason 1 filled it about half way. So, I had to ride the rest of the race on a half full front tire which was fine on the straights but on turns it was like riding on ice…1 really nasty fall learning that. All in all it was a blast, there were a lot of great people out there, can’t wait to find the next race to enter!!!
