It has come to my realization, that singlespeeds while fun to ride and have fun with mates and all that,
are probably the dumbest things to try to race around Mt Stromlo at speed,
or Martin just may set courses with all the hard bits in them.
2 Singlespeeders did come 1-2 in the 100 mile, and they had odd sized wheels.
Turkish pide is not good pre-race dinner, unless you can race on cheese.
Don't change handlebars the night before the race,
Don't lose that important odd sized nut you really really need.
When your tyre needs a little more air, put that air in then, not after the rocky descent.
When bolting your wheel back on make sure the brakes ARE NOT grabbing the rotor,
If it is grabbing then it is the bike not your softness making it hard for you.
Fix this when you have the chance and not halfway the hill which has 237641237612 bloody switchbacks.
Grow a beard, this helps apparently.
Stromlo is best ridden in the rain when the top is shrouded in cloud, seems almost magical
but yes, i'll most probably try it again.
congrats to all out there,
Congrats to the Rocky Trail Crew for an awesome event, I imagine it will be an even bigger event next year.
