Just got back from a 100Km ride in the Hunter Valley. It was my first race in 6 years. I did it in 3hrs 50mins. I'm pretty happy with it especially as I didn't train for it cause I've been sick and uni was getting intense for the last 4 weeks.
The race was for an organisation called ONE80TC who basically take wayward men in and rehabilitate them from substance abuse, sexual and physical abuse and guide them to a positive and promising life. It was great hearing how a few of the guys that came through the course have turned their lives around, real great stuff!
Apparently every year this one guy says if anyone can beat him home from the half way point he'll donate $10,000. Well it happened this year! the guy who beat him came through the organisation.
Next race I'm looking to do is Sydney to the Gong, in November, which is roughly 90Km and has huge hills. I'm gonna die hahaTim.

Here's the same run using the Chesty mount! Need to get the angle dialed and figure out some shaking issues but I Like this POV more.

As far as wear goes, you'll see a decreasing radius between the teeth of your cassette & chain rings, and rather than a square top on the teeth, they'll have a shark-toothy appearance. Worn cassete & new chain = skipping under load, new chain & worn chain rings = chain suck, sometimes you get both. The smaller rings on the cassette will show more wear, since an 11 tooth ring will see the chain rollers 3x as much as a 32/4/6t ring per crank revolution, not to mention you spend more time on the smaller rings, or at least most riders do.Originally posted by DozyproductionsYou know why you're drinking that Pabst? No its probably not because it was the first beer you grabbed. It's because you're a winner.
