I think it was more slipstreaming than anything else that weekend, especially the pennant hill drag race.
Those guys really didn't like my reading of the 'Rules' did they?

It was a very Formula 1 style interpretation of the rules.

Re: Speed
My semi fatty (29+) is definitely slower on the hills and flat ( and takes a lot more out of my legs) than my hard tail or full susser. But it is a lot quicker downhill than either.

He's still disqualified Rich so I still got 3rd
Re: Speed
Those that come 2nd always look to the rules.
The rules were two pedal strokes and no more, absolutely nothing about pushing your bike.

Re: Speed
I am just happy if I manage to get out on the bike.
I don't actually have much in the way of speed.
Oh look, squirrels.
