So GeWilli got a podium. 3rd behind MKR (who's winning EVERYTHING) and Doug who's killing it too. I wasn't right on their heals. I think Doug came in at 38:55 and I was 41:07. There was a gap, but hey, it was brutally hard. single speed is pretty bad ass. Rode the White blue with the long limit screws, no shifting, thank you screws. Rocket Ron's tubeless on the Ultegra wheelset too. (btw - I was running a 46x16 gear)
I did crash a couple times, 4th place was on my wheel breathing down my neck pushing me hard on the last lap... but I hit the open stretch before the hillside on the road and dumped the watts and used the open sprints legs and created a gap and managed to hold it to the line and make the podium. Not a huge field, maybe 15 finishers? Still, I'll take what I can get.
INSANE!!!
Felt pretty awesome. Definitely going to be targeting the SS races if I can make the timing work. Can't race tomorrow, next weekend will just be one race likely and the following weekend might be totally off.
Pretty solid and fun way to wrap up the week.

This is so awesome. So stoked for you GeWilli!
it was all the rocks in the trailer
Awesome ride G!
Nice! Not to shabby G.
Holy shit dude. I run 46x16 on my road singlespeed.
46x16 was a bit dodgy coming out of the corners and the hill after the log jump, but it really forced me to carry as much speed as I could through turns (aka edge of crashing whole time) no brakes.
but hitting the open sections I was able to spin that up and open the gap on 4th (who was running easier gear and jumping out of the corner faster).
