Was going along nice and steady until about 8km in when power started to fall despite cadence staying the same.
Then wheel started slipping, at first a little, then a lot and making a squeaking noise. I kept at it as it was a Tt and had been feeling alright. Experimented with different gears, sitting and standing, to see what worked best
By the end of the ride I was in biggest gear and spinning but it felt really boggy and there was a bad smell of rubber. Got off the bike- there was a rear wheel puncture, it was completely flat and I had not noticed
I’m a maybe, I was doing the club 10 but it’s looking cold and I’m a wimp. But it depends on how I feel after Sputnik, as well as my technical (in)abilities
This new series sounds fun, short sharp races that I prefer, 2 back to back by the look of things.
The Giant Crit Crushers is ideal for new racers, thanks to its duration: short! It’s great for experienced competitors as well. Each race is between 10 and 15 minutes.
And to double the fun, this series includes two races each week. Do both! They include a short break between the two.
