Absolutely brutal terrain. I imagine my forearms would have been as rock hard from arm pump as the ground you were riding on. Bet it felt like hitting a slab of concrete when going down. Wonder if a full gummy tire might have helped with traction. You managed the course like a hero. Great job!
Thanks for the compliments. I think the only thing that would’ve helped was studs but studs aren’t allowed in MSXC. The ice was not only hard as concrete but when you slip and fall you go down so fast there’s no time to react.
