Bit by bit. Little by little.

So, I entered this race again this year to test how I have progressed over the 14 months since I first got on a MTB.
Last year I finished in just over 1 hour 15 minutes and going into this one I really wanted to come in under the hour.
Though I missed out by 67 seconds on that goal, there are other ways to measure progress. Most importantly for me was that, unlike last year, I rode every climb and didn't stop once.
May not sound much to many here, but it is a quiet victory for me.
Thanks to the organizers for a lovely little event.
