2012 Meltdown at Harris Lake, 6 Hour Race -- 5th

Saturday, April 14th, 2012 @ Harris Lake County Park
Niner One 9 w/32:20 gearing and Maxxis Ikons at 23 psi.
Single-speed division, 5th place. Rode 9 laps for ~60 miles in 5:36.
Felt good for what is likely my last local TORC series ride.  I rode about as hard as I dared.  Legs were burnt after this race and for some reason my arse was sore (using the same type seat as usual?). Thinking that it might have had something to do with too much sitting on a very bumpy (rooty) course.  Anyway, I am very happy with my effort (would have been 2nd in the 40+ division) and hope these events make me stronger for upcoming events like PMBAR and Burn24 (both in May).
