The Lodi Farms 12 Hour Mtn Bike race in Virginia. My first attempt at this type of racing. It was an interesting day. It was hot, over 90 degrees. The course was about 9.5 miles and VERY technical. Lots of roots, log crossings and twists. The plan was to start slow and go slower... that is what I did. I will have to wait to see the results later in the week, but I rode just over 10 hours, 65.75 miles, and finished my last lap just before 1:30A.M. Unlike any other kind of race I have done, at the end, I wasn't beat down, my muscles (not counting consistent cramping in my legs) were not sore, I was just gassed. Physically and mentally. Twice, sometime after midnight, I just rode into the brush because I forgot to turn the handlebars ; )
All in all a great time!
