OOS MOGA

Didn’t do so great. Kinda got stuck behind someone and didn’t feel too great.
I definitely need more riding time.
Good race @Victor I

@Mathers @Victor I Great job! Way to rep OOS. Need a recap.

Luckily the rain held off for us.
I started out poorly and got anxious fro some reason and it hurt me. I got behind some one who was better on endurance but any tech I caught him abs couldn’t get by. He also went down twice so that slowed me up.

I smoked the downhill which is probably one of the best and longest I’ve ridden with Lots of big rocks to launch off of.
Once we got to the lower lake section with all the rocks he was gone.
Finished well through the short track section but I need more saddle time to get better.

Had a burger BSed with the guys after, it was a good day.

Nice job Matt lining up, did you call out a pass? I don't know race etiquette but sounds like he should have let you pass

The wind actually wasn't bad at all today. A couple spots where it was open and you'd get hit with a stiff headwind but they were relatively short. The side wind on Ocean Ave was a little sketchy though because the gusts would push the wheel around if you weren't paying attention. At least with 60mm carbon wheels it was. Not sure what Walter is running.

Wind was not an issue for me except for the occasional 40mph gusts. Rode the Bruce Gordon with the Alex Adventure2 on XTR hubs I recently built

It’s all good for Mother’s Day we do a winery, maybe I can get her to let us do a brewery or distillery... but I highly doubt that

Thanks. I was slower than usual due to the humidity and cold air so I struggled, but the course was fantastic. That must of took Team MTBNJ a long time to clear the trails.

This is only my second time in a mountain bike race. The first time was Jungle 4 years ago and I started out too quick in that race(ran out of breath in the first mile). I decided this time start out VERY slow then build up speed as I reached the top of the first climb. Then I started moving towards the top and enjoyed a long stretch of rocky twisty downhill. Slowed down again on some climbs towards the end. Glad I got an opportunity to do the race.
