Report Day 1&2 Bc Bike Race

I don't know what the guys at front are 'eating' but must be good. They are putting us an hour a day.
No power moves this time Dopey, just one that lasts the whole day.
On day 1 they trough us to a fast fire road followed by really fast singletrail. As here hasn't stop raining for the last days the roots were wet, so imagine the rest. Root fest for the whole stage. Tired but happy to made it.
After the usual good sleep at the tent, this morning the rain has waked me up, imagine! So day 2 has been mud wresting, and if you were wrong for whatever reason ( p. Ex. A root) something that could hurt you was waiting around the corner. Again hard work, one hour to clean the bike and then hose plus shower for us... Still raining out here.
We find a laundromat on town, I hope their machine has warranty.
Food is good and this is really well organized.
More to come.
Sorry for the pics but no time for mote.
Cheers
Ah, if I would be in my age group I would be 4th on teams, but the kids class is tough... The roadie is alive, he starts to realize where he is... ;)
