Mudfest coming this weekend to a Fontucky near you
Well this weekend I'll be riding my new steed out at the mudfest! It's been dreary and rainy here in So Cal all week, and this weekend doesn't look to be much different. Could be epic conditions for XC racing if the rain stops Friday and then waits to hit again until Saturday night. The course would be FAST.
I'm hesitant about assuming I'll best my last time (my own personal course record) on a brand new bike (it'll be the inaugural ride) and on a heavier bike. But, maybe I'll be able to fly down the hills a little better!
The only FS 29ers I've ridden were short Interbike tests on the RIP9 (didn't like it), Sultan (liked it even less), and then Lenz Behemoth (awesome, felt like it was my bike right from the first pedal stroke).
I'm hoping it'll be good for endurance races after VQ. Slightly more comfort than the Dos provides. If there isn't a time cutoff I should be set. If I could fly on this bike it'd be awesome, though.
Full race report coming Monday!
