[quote="Michelle"]However I saw most of the juniors struggling and out the back. It's pretty tough on youngsters on a course like that.


Tough it is indeed, but they ought not to be going out the back in races like that. All due respect to the riders involved, and I would still take a win in a 2nd cat race... However, they're probably not quite as hard as some of the national junior series. Which they all got their asses kicked in recently too! Jay is a junior too (James Bowtell), he seems to be developing quite decent climbing form though. As you saw last week, Drew can't half sprint. So they'll go well with a bit more experience under their belts. It's cool watching them develop though, having trained with them all winter they really have come on in leaps and bounds.

[quote="Michelle"]Like we're gonna tell you about team tactics! :roll:


Maybe tell the riders the tactics :roll:

Get guys in the break, make sure one of them wins, keep the bunch together for the sprinter - easy :lol:

I am really really happy tonight. I just went in my shed and was checking out a new pair of shoes, as I got on my race bike I thought, this seems a bit strange. Measured the seat post and the post was 3cm too far into the tube. Basically, I had not tightened up the bolt enough since coming back from Majorca, so this explains why I was feeling quite tired in the race and why I didn't win.

Bring on the next race, let me at em.

Cheers

Since you've been riding for a few years now I'm a bit surprised you failled to notice this. This is a terrible school boy error. Perhaps its happened in other races that you should've won. And anyway would'nt you get sore knees if your seat post was too low

I felt very tired trying to climb and on the steep climb I was really struggling, could not get the power down. Yes I should probably have noticed but didn't do any warm up, as I like to warm up on the first lap and once going just thought I was tired after the run I did the day before.

These things happen Toks, I mean I have seen people with cranks falling off, saddles coming undone the works in races, so the seat post moving down a bit is not too much of a problem. At least its fixed now. I was surprised the knees did not hurt as well, but think that maybe the mountain biking I have been doing at a slightly lower saddle height has got me more used to riding at slightly different heights if you know what I mean.

Cheers

Put insulating tape on post to mark position so that next time when the post starts to slip down the tape will be creased highlighting a dropped post.
