I am very excited today because my new bike has just arrived and that means that the power cranks now have a bike to be installed upon.... Should be riding them by the end of the week! Just in time for some good training before the XC race in Downieville.

I recently raced in the 12Hrs of Temecula mountain bike event in Temecula, CA and I am very satisfied with my result. The consistency of my laps was just beautiful, all twelve laps were within eight minutes of each other and my longest lap was only just over the 1 hour mark.

The course was actually a pretty fun one, lots of steep little climbs and fun little descents, one big climb and some false flat sections towards the end. There were no trees. You simply could not escape the sweltering heat out on the course and i was taking some pretty big doses of electrolytes to stay upright.

I really feel like my training with PCs helped me out in certain sections of this course, namely the sections which had gradual inclines. I was able to stay seated and pedal super efficient circles and just churn up them as others shifted to their low gears and bounced on their saddles.

Good stuff, next update will be after riding the PCs once again. Oh yeah, I won the Solo Pro class at Temecula...
