Roll..

Clipped in for a bash at the Dirt Crits at Westgate yesterday. More to sort the Epic out for the Gravity 12hour on the weekend.
It was a shorten course because of the Bridge works, using only the park to the north of the Bridge. It was pretty flat & fast. Just about all open two-track, dry & fast. I reckon I came last in 5 laps of B grade, but I didn’t care. It’s not I’m not in any physical condition, just lucky to be able to do up my laces without getting short of breath.
Anyway, was concerned that the rear of the Epic was kinda squishy even though I set it right 3 months earlier for the last round of Chase the Sun in July – last time I raced. A check of the pressure back home showed 150psi out back, so I topped it up to 170psi & hope for the best.
Got new tyres too - Hutchinson Cobras. Supposedly good dry XC tyres. Will see how they go.
Tomorrow’s Gravity starts wit a drive out from Melbourne – 3.5hours to Happy Valley, mount & ride from 9am to 9pm.
