That's a sweet hat @Brew_Tri , would look good for a few laps of the Ode IMHO
@Struang , you're ready for the Ode to Laz. I'll take the suspense out of it. You'll DNF.
(but you'll have one hell of a fun time)
@Struang !!!!!
Can we get @Martin to attend the Sworry Trials and write such eloquent recaps and predictions each day?
That's super cool @James Lange ! Tell your Dad thank you for all that work.
I'm sorry I took so long to check up on the Roost.
@James Lange , I loved the course. It ad 7 distinct phases that I found really interesting to help with the eventual mental games that have to be played.
What a great time, and your family was amazingly kind to the invaders.
I’m hooked! It’s my personal best backyard in competition.
I see no value for inserts on what I ride. Only used my emergency tube once. I ride gravel exclusively (unless I'm on a tri road race course). My only flats have been:
1. One rear tire flat in 6 or 7 years running tubeless, tires were well past their life endpoint for tread and wear and tear - simple stupidity.
2. When I forgot to screw down @P_Cottrell 's back tire Presta valve before we raced each other - calculated stupidity.
I did have a tire flat a few years ago with tubes on the TT bike and it was because debris cut a big hole in my front tire. Went through two spare tubes in 20 meters of ride effort after the flat until the SAG wagon guy helped me and put a patch inside over the hole. If that were tubeless, all the insert would have done was prevent me from ruining two perfectly good tubes from my tailbag. I wouldn't have continued the race on the inserts. As it was, I was able to continue the race.
