Ride Report
I randomly decided to try out the Mountain Hardware race up to Washington Park.
I got there right when it was supposed to start and got a bit confused because there was no one there. Turns out, I was the only one there. Luckily, two of the employees were getting paid to race with me. Rather than a hardest gear ride, it turned into a fixed/ss race. We cruised around then raced from Burnside and 23rd up to the entrance.
It was pretty exhausting, I think we all had to step on our pedals pretty hard. Im not sure if it was because I was all pumped to race or because they were getting paid to ride, but I won. I would have gotten the free bag anyways, but it was nice to win for real.
Maybe next year there will be some competition. Im sure I will try to hold my crown.
