Dauset Trails 12 Hour MTB Race

Dauset Trails 12 Hour Mountain Bike Race

I got there early enough to get all my gear set up, relax and enjoy some breakfast. I had stopped by Chic-Fil-A on the way and got 4 chicken biscuits. Had a Fun Lemans Style Start and as always Dav catches me off guard with a Quick start Dauset Trails 12 Hour Mountain Bike Race.



I did the first two laps non stop making sure to finish a whole bottle of hammer perpetuem. I needed to eat some lunch by then. I scarfed down anouther chicken biscuit with extra jelly rested a few more minutes then headed back out. Did anouther lap then did two more nonstop. The Sorella Water staion was a welcome site every lap. Dauset Trails 12 Hour Mountain Bike Race

By lap 6 I was ready for a Snickers and Cherry Pepsi. I ate the whole Snickers and drank a whole pepsi. I rested and knew I had plenty of time to do a lap before the 9:30 cut off. I ended up doing two night laps that were interesting. It gets dark in them woods, especially when you are all alone.

I had a great time and felt strong the whole way. Great day of riding my Haro mountain bike



I finished feeling good with 8 laps. Dauset Trails 12 Hour Mountain Bike Race

A case of Terrapin Beer for the  Fool's Gold 50/100 mile Mountain Bike Race Dahlonega, Georgia. Beacuse of such muddy conditions the 100 mile mountain bike race was cut short to 50 mile.

4 Hours of Pig Macon Georgia 2006


Great Race today out at the pig trail. There were not as many
racers as I had anticipated. I'm guessing only about 50 all
together. My Brother Tom, his wife, My sister and niece all came along to root
me on. I was feeling good before the race and was only hoping
to complete 4 laps. I started out slow and seemed to gradually
get faster as the day went on. I climbed the hardest climb
every time (Chandler's Challenge). My preperation for the
day was like this: I started the day off with some fine columbian
coffee, eight o'clock brand
. I had a Clif Bar on the way to the Race. Drank some High quality H2O before the start. Half Way through each lap I ate a Power
Bar Gu Packet
. After two laps I drank a Water bottle full
of Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem. Before my last lap I ate a Gu with
Caffine in it and took off my Camel Bak and rode with a water
bottle. Taking off that extra weight really made a difference.
I could peddle much easier. I was very happy with my Finish.
I got lapped by several people. A really fun event. Nathan
G.
and I had a wager on this race as well. If He beat
me he could take the Tie Off at work. Well even though he
got off to a Fast start Looks Like He will STILL be wearing
a Tie to work. Chris H. offered to make a friendly wager before the Race but
I knew better than to Bet him. I probably weigh 100 lbs more
than he does. He ended up Lapping me on my last lap.
I asked Charles if he would give a CycloCross class out at Thomson before the Season begins. I hope he does
because I have never raced Cross and am planning on trying
out a couple of races this year.
Today's
RACE:
4 Hrs of Pig Trail, 5 laps, 35 mi, 9.2 avg mph
