Wow!!! One of the most difficult physical challenges I have ever endured today. Participating in the Carrabassett Back Country Challenge 50k Mtn Bike Race. Unfortunately my body had other ideas in mind as severe leg cramps set in at the half way point. Somehow I was able to dig deep and tap into something that allowed me the strength to finish. The course was challenging from many points of view… long climbs, fast descents, technical single track and Oh THE MUD!!! Heavy rains Friday night into Saturday morning turned the course into a complete slippery mess. All in all I was happy with a top half finish in my category. My Teammates had strong days. Well done Jerry Hart, Ian Wilson and David Greeley who flew to a second place finish in the 50 to 59 class.
Thank You to CMCC and Mathieu’s Cycle & Fitness for all your help and expertise.
