I should probably wait 'till the Ringwood race so I have enough time to prepare myself. I don't want to embarrass myself again. ;D Hey Rachet maybe you'd like to join Viking on Sunday. Good Luck again Viking!

So, I seem to have found my spot, another 15 out of 21. The times we're not up when I left so I don't know how far behind I was. I had done a lot more riding the two weeks prior so it felt a little better than the last time. It was another fast course but it had some sketchy sections with a lot of sharp rocks, so you had to find your lines to keep it moving without taking a spill or getting a flat. I have noticed that I can leave people behind on the technical and downhill sections where some people are having problems or braking. The areas that need improvement are stamina and especially strength, probably something that all CHP'ers suffer from . It becomes very obvoius when you get some elevation. The best part of the whole day was that somebody found my car key that I had lost in grass in the starting area. It wasn't even a set of keys, just a single key! Probably saved me 4-5 hours of driving back and forth! So I won the lucky contest ;D Really looking forward to do the Ringwood race when we can all share or experiences.

Congrats for a good and safe finish Viking 15, I guess your single speed made your day after you found your single key.
