Getting Ready for the 24 Hours of Summer Solstice
I haven’t had time to post lately, as we are busy getting ready for the Chico Racing 24 Hours of Summer Solstice mountain bike race that is this weekend at Albion Hills Conservation Area. This year I’m racing on a 5 person team, everyone is on singlespeeds. At the shop, we are getting some geared 29er’s together as demo bikes so people can take out a True North on a lap. As well, there are at least 5 other custom frames or full bikes that various people have needed to get for the weekend. Combined with regular business and late shipments from Shimano, general chaos prevails! At home, we’ve wound down the riding to rest up for the weekend, but replaced that with packing and preparation! Well, if you don’t see me over the weekend, don’t expect to hear any more until next weekend, when things will hopefully return to normal!
