Practise for MTB race

I have entered a MTB (Mountain Bike Race) next weekend so I thought I better

  1. Get back on my bike
  2. Roll around the course

The Bike Shop organise a ride each Sunday lead by James so we went off to practise on the course.  We had a great group and had a bit of highway riding to get to the course.

Below is the course which is about 30km from the centre of HCM and on the day I have to do 3 laps, 5km per lap.  It is a fun and technical course with some really steep parts.  Because the rainy season has started it was muddy too.

Thanks to James, I got some action shots, however it seems to be becoming a habit, I had a crash.  Nothing serious, was going about 5km/hr and was on the BMX part of the course and took a nose dive.

Roddie Rob would be saying that I probably needed to attach more, a little out of practise.  Here are some of the guys that did the course
