Twin Towns Race Report- Xmas Eve
What a great roll up we had today under gloomy skies- which luckily held off. With just over 80 competitors and still new members turning up each week we continue to see people getting their personal best each week. Great to see so many getting into the Christmas spirit with santa and his helpers on point duty to those donning santa hats and a variety of reindeer antlers.
Club President Chris Watt
Today we saw three dnf (did not finish) due to mechanical problems- flat tyres, a tip from Dr Bike some time ago was to check your tyres following a ride and if you find cuts, ensure there is no glass and apply a little bit of super glue. The other strategy to reduce the likelihood of flat tyres is to ensure you maintain correct tyre pressure and don’t ride through broken glass.
We still have uniform on hand to collect- the girls will only be bringing them down for a couple more weeks. Thanks to Julies for the breakfast this morning- and for those that donated to the charity.
Doctor Bike again shared his extensive knowledge on bike setup and riding, today he thanked every one who visited their local bike shops- (our sponsors) for their support. Then he talked on correct pedal stroke – scraping mud off the bottom of your shoe, keeping the bike as steady as possible, not rocking it side to side this uses energy better spent on pedalling. Also when standing up, try moving your upper body a little forward – over the handle bars and choose the correct gearing.
