Finished building up new bike Friday evening. prerode it Saturday. Went back over the bike with a fine toothed comb to make sure everything was tuned and tight.
Sunday morning re-went back over the bike.
Start long and slow. I started out in the back of a mile long open field start. Everyone was going way slow so halfway through I decided to put the burn on because I needed to have a good race here. Passed 15 people before the single track. Hit a ditch hard, hit a tree hard lost my rear breaks about halfway through (and just let them hang) passed 9 people in my class on trail. Had my best finish ever, 6th.
The Dragon is awesome and i only had that one problem with it. Smooth as butter. Ummmmm butter.
Oh ps. On my continuing back problems. I bought a heating pad Saturday and used it the rest of the day and slept on it at night. I only had slight problems towards then end of this race and its the longest Ive done this year at 12 miles. So Ill give the heating pad two thumbs up also.
