Elgin - who's going?

I’ve always wanted to go, and I know it won’t happen this year, but it looks like so much fun!

Going!

Doing the 80k and my wife is doing the 20k

Some of the guys at the shop are going this year, so I will have to work…but next year!

I’m looking at this year as a learning experience. As a general rule, I don’t mountain bike and I don’t race, so entering a mountain bike race is a little out of my comfort zone. But I’ve been spending more time on the MTB lately as my wife is taking to the sport and prefers off-road.

If I make it through the 80k and 1500m of climbing without dying, I’m thinking I’ll upgrade the Roam to a more appropriate XC bike and go for the belt buckle next year.
