TINY RECON
RECONNING THE RACE COURSE CAN PAY HUGE DIVIDENDS, especially if it's a tricky, technical beast. I've done this race before, last year. Since it's a modified version...
... it woulda been nice to check it.
But...
- traffic
- pouring rain
- thunder and lightening
... I have excuses.
Not that I should be excused,
because I could have made it happen.
I'm glad it rained.
Less dust tomorrow.
Almost as soon as it stopped,
I could hit the dirt.
No mud.
Which means I did get a chance to drive the finish in the diminishing rain,
and ride the section leading up the single track.
This was worth it.
It's not that the single track is all that challenging,
it's that the signage comes up so fast,
it's easy to rip right by the key turn.
Just one example of how beneficial it can be to pre-ride a course.
First race of the year for me,
it's gonna be fun,
can't wait.
