I don't ride a Rock Hopper, but I agree with your comments about it...don't care about what other people say about your bike. It's working for you and are having a go! Keep up the good work and best of luck for many more races ahead. Thanks for sharing the video. Two weeks ago I did my first two XCO races at age 54 and this weekend I have the next two races in the series. I'm not going to win them, but for sure I'll enjoy them, meet some new people and learn some new things like you are.
I only saw about 5-7 riders pass you. Great job!!
Thanks! Some of the ones that passed me was in open category.

Hearing stories like yours means alot to me. Its very inspiring and hope I can still ride at that age. Happy adventuring and ride safe. Thank you!
Great video! I was looking at doing it in 2023 as my first race!
Sweet! Hope to see you there 🚴🚴🚴
Thanks for sharing! Signing up for 2022 race right now!
You're welcome! Hope you had a great time at the race.
Thanks for posting. I am doing the 2022 ride this weekend. I had a Rockhopper and it was stolen. Sad. Keep up the good work. You are doing great.
Sorry to hear about your Rockhopper. It's happening everywhere. Hope you had a great time at the race!
great video ! first race You did great !
Thanks! It was alot of fun.
Doing this race next weekend. Looks like fun. Done some other EX2 adventure events but first mtb race.
Yes! It is so much fun, specially if its your first time. All EX2 race and rides are all great!
I think my BMC Two Stroke would do well on that trail. The rigid rear makes climbing easy
Yes, my friend was riding a rigid fork and he was fast in the beginning climb.
Nice vid. Aside from the blow out at the start, what would you do differently on another try at this race?
Thanks! I don't think I would do anything different but just ride and have fun.
Are you going again next weekend? Will rain cancel the event?
Sorry for late reply. I was not able to participate this year. I will try to do again in 2023. Were you able to go?
How many miles was this race
The one I joined was the beginner category and it was one lap, 7 miles.
