You almost have me convinced to come do this next year. Perhaps with some coaching I'll be more commited. You are an inspiration. Nice Job Kenny, way to represent SGF.

You make it look easy. Two water bottles, eh? If I had a single wish for my own mountain biking abilities, it would be that two water bottles would suffice for me for a 33 mile lap.

I've never used it during a ride, but sometimes the feel good factor of food is more important for performance than how efficiently your body uses it. Case in point, Chris Horner told the team chef to skip the pasta and green beans and give him two bowls of ice cream, pizza, and cheeseburgers after racing. His results immediately improved.

I never break my chain to make adjustments. The last think you want when pushing a big gear up a hill is a chain with a bunch of weak links in it. I have a few scars from my knees from hitting the stem, before I learned that lesson. Yeah,… my eccentric BB only allows for small changes. I never break my chain to make adjustments.

Congrats on the good result. Sure, you were in 1st/2nd of your catagory and ended up in 3rd, but if you run strong most of the race and get fried, but still muscle it in on chocolate milk, it is a great result. This was a fun race report for me to read - Oakridge is practically in my back door, and the people up there have really worked hard to make it a good MTB area. About SS gearing changes - I see that you switched both cog & gear wheel when you made a change. Is this so you can keep the chain length about the same? best, Steve Kenny – Great writeup!

We could use the humor and great writing at Accelerade.com's community site. Lots of traffic there and you can link back to your blog. Would love to hear your voice in the mix. http://accelerade.com/team/Default.aspx Cheers! Fun stuff. We could use the humor and great writing at Accelerade.com’s community site.

The CCP has a lot of climbing and descending with very little flats. I ran 32x22 or 37.8 gear inches. Be careful. Single Speeding is addicting. People will make fun of you. They'll call you stupid or they'll call you super human. It's all the same, just a different way to suffer. Mike, I usually run a 34×19 on my 29er which calculates to 51.9 gear inches.

Great write up. I was so emotionally involved, I feel like actually rode the race. I can now check that one off my list. THANKS I was hanging on each word. Great write up.
