A short lap of Rydal
Rydal is cool in that you can link segments together in a myriad of different ways to keep it all fresh
This week we did out Jive Turkey, then crossed over to link in Robbies Run. Up Snake tails. Hard right and into Hazard County. Hard left and back along the dump run.
I caught lap on the gopro using a gimbal mounted to chesty
Lap 1

A little faster chasing Watto and Gav down Hazard County
smarter race. almost
Every week I head out to Rydal, set up the track and tell myself "I'm not going to sprint off the start this week. I haven't got that fitness."
Every week I line up at the start (no warm up), give the speech, say "Every one ready, set, Go!"
Every week we take off the red mist descends and I bust my gut to get a good spot into the single track, send my heart rate through the roof and then blow up trying to keep my spot.
every week I die in the arse in the second or third lap, get heart rate back under control then come home strongish but suffering

Quick bit of video from one of our club races.
Was taken with the contour set up under the seat looking back. Hope you enjoy
Tough day on the bike
I knew I hadn't done as much riding as I would have liked leading into this one but I was feeling pretty good and was reasonably confident.
I got off to a good start up the fire trail and entered the single trail in the lead and settled down into a tempo and rhythm I was comfortable with.
Back out on the fire trail Beggsie blasts past near the top of the hill. I was feeling good and thought of challenging but in my last race (round #1) I rode much better by just sticking to my own tempo so Beggs hits the main ST a little in front of me.

Cross country will take place in the morning. we'll need help timing XC and setting up for the DH.
If you turn up at the DH area and we're running late and quick rake of the trail would be nice.
also if someone could pick up the cables from the XC area and get them run out while you are waiting it will make things easier.
