parajared said:Ok, I have done several test runs of the Skull Valley Loop with the Black Bullet now.
With 17lbs of lithium I'm hitting around 2:30
With 24lbs of lithium I'm hitting around 2:15
With 26lbs of lithium I'm getting just under two hours
I guess the question now is should I leave the athletes in the dust or just ride slow and let them finish first? Last year's best time was set by Paul Fabian at 2:15.
Normally I'd say no mercy, 26 lbs, since I'm competitive. However, the "Vibe" of the ride, as described, is not a race, but an opportunity to ride, chat, and support each other, so maybe 24 lbs, and keep something in reserve, in case someone turns it into a race
