| You can go online and check out the final results if you'd like but the general scoop is this. The weather was good, 18 at the start 21 at the end, there was rain earlier in the week but the course was pretty much dry and fast.There was a record number of us White Rock/SORCE/Galbraith mountain riders group in attendance, 16 to be exact. So bragging rights and testosterone were well represented. Sandbagging and predictions of ridiculously fast times were in abundance the week before. Guys were predicting they'd be 20-30 minutes faster than their personal bests; it was even coming out in guilty admissions that there were guys in 5:30am spin classes and log books with in excess of 4000km since January were coming out of the woodwork. Ouch. I had none of that, I had some saddle sores from my to work and back commute, some lunchtime spin sessions, and some serious bouts of lawn cutting and road hockey as my only real cross training. Had all the preweek race talk/strategy sessions w/ everyone saying where they were going to make their moves and how they were going to ride each section, I would nod my head and say yep sounds good uh huh, and so on..... Bruce asked me at the starting line what my race strategy was going to be. I said same as it always is, I am going to go as hard as I can for as long as I can and then hang on for all I'm worth after that. WHEN I blow up, I'll deal with it, bonk, crash or recover.
