It was the most insane race ever held at the Forest city Velodrome. Who can do the most laps in 6 hours on a track bike. True endurace was tested this weekend. And Myself and Dave Byers took 1st and 2nd place, covering 214km (1553laps), and 203km (1473laps) respectfully!
Sorry I have no more energy to to type, it was all left out on the track… haha just kidding.. I think I can speak for Dave as well here, this was one of the most mentally and physically draining things we’ve ever done.
This is how it went down… There were prizes for the individual winners of each hour, as well as the overall 6 hours. I won the 1st, 3rd, and 4th hour, and Ryan Aitchenson won the 2nd hr. Dave was in cruse control mode all race long. 3 hour intothe race, Ryan had to drop out, not sure if it was from Dizzyness, or fatigue, but he was done. Dave was experiencing some cramps, so he had to pull of the track for a bit and re-gain his legs… He dropped down to 5th overall, but eventually cought back up to get 2nd. I put in a solid 5 hrs of tempo to get a 13km lead over Dave with an hour to go. I was happy to take a nature break, and put on a smaller gear to cool down and finish off the race nice and easy. I was so glad it was over!
