Interested to know what gears you ran over the weekend. I did 15 laps on a 32:18 29r it was pretty tough going.

Ran 32:20 on my 29er on the Friday practice lap, moved to 32:21 for the race, which I think was about right for me. Managed 21 laps for my first solo

I suspect you would have managed quite a bit more if you were running an easier gear. If I had been running 32:18 I would have burnt out way before.

34:20 seemed about right although there was the odd moment of wanting to cry like a little girl

Yes Taz, but that probably had more to do with the whiskey you had drunk rather than the gearing

I think you're probably right. Hey-ho, you live and learn, I'll be back next year with a better gear ratio.
