Bam! My rotors haven’t even cooled off from the last MTB enduro & here I am signing up for another one. Still very much in the ‘room for improvement’ phase of my training for this sort of ‘white hot heat of MTB racing’ I nevertheless am convinced that the best way to shock myself out of this loungeroom funk is to cart my bike out onto the startline of these things & get those cranks turning.
So next Sunday’s (June 19th) Mountain Challenge MTB Enduro 5hour held in the Wombat State Forest near Woodend will be graced with my presence in the 40+ solo ole’farts category. I’ll tick this one off as a successful day out if I can keep rolling for the duration. Sure there’ll be times that I will hate Gary Fisher & his friends for all they’ve done for cycling, but in amongst the pain & hate I am sure to find those gems that make life on a bike worth living.
Thankfully the Specialized Epic is still set up from the last hit out at the Forest 6hour so prep will be a squirt of lube on the chain and a fresh biddon. A scan of my MTB compatriots have them all somewhere else on the day so I’ll be trucking out there on my lonesome for some me & ‘it’ time.
