This one hurt a bit. I really felt the course suited me and I would be able to manage a top 5 finish but my body disagreed and I lost energy big time near the end of the first lap. I stuck it out but only managed 7th in this one.
Your riding is so smooth, controlled, and efficient. The biggest thing holding you back in this race is your incredible patience and politeness. A little more speed on those FSRs and some agressive passing and you're on the podium.
Thanks buddy I'm trying to get on your level! But you may have seen in this video I did put in 3-4 kinda sneaky passes that I wouldn't have done in the past. Slowly building that race craft :)
Man, still a good ride! If we weren't so bunched up with that class in front of us, think you would have let your legs stretch and get out in front more! Uploading my video now! That line at 11:15 gained you a few spots!
I really like the Piston Run - very rugged hare scramble. I was disappointed by how my endurance started fading fast near the end of lap 1. Will be back.
Yes I had that line pre-planned and someone went ahead and crashed there :) but the other shortcut in the clear cut worked wonders. Must have passed 6 guys there.
