well I didnt do a TR on the last 2 race because i had no pictures

Brady's Run week 2

I finished 5th. Lost my front brake 8 mile in on 14 mile race. Should of finished 3rd if I had a front brake. 2 guys past me on the final steep straight decent that I couldnt go any faster down, due ot no front brake.

Grove City cyclecross - week 3

I finished 8th in sport second fastest mountain bike. fastest FS for sure. Fun race cyclocross is painful but yet stranglefun. A cyclocross bike would be much faster than my heavy FS mountain bike.

Moraine State Park - week 4 - finale race.

this race ended up being the toughest of the bunch. Moraine is a place that makes Gooseberry Mesa look like an easy ride. the rock gardens that go up and down and around are a challenge enough just to ride let alone try to go fast while your in traffic. I think I had 3 falls on the first lap 2 of which were caused by people slowing down to much in front. My second lap was much quicker and was able to pass alot of people on that lap to end up in 3rd place.

the sport/masters field right after the start. I am sitting in 6th.

Seems to me that you should be able to go a lot faster down hill without brakes. :mrgreen:

Instead of looking for fast rolling tires, you should try some fast pedaling legs. -DP
