Ontario Cup #2 – Albion Hills
Juliette and I raced the 2nd race in the O’Cup series yesterday at Albion Hills. I didn’t enjoy the first O’Cup race, but I decided to give it a second chance. This race had even more of what I don’t like and my heart wasn’t in it. There is way too much double track and not enough technical for me.
I did have my video camera mounted on my seatpost though and got some good footage of the first 15 minutes of the race until the lens got covered in mud. I have condensed the video down to about 3 minutes of fast double-track and a bit of twisty single-track. It makes for a fun watch.
Juliette did amazing as always, finishing 5th in her category. I managed a respectable 6th against a strong field. We are now back to training for the 24 hour and are looking forward to our first long race, the Opus Epic 8 Hour Spring Relay in two weeks.
