Frustrated, HF#10 & DarkHorse

My bike keeps having issues, yeah some of them are being my mechanic sucks (thats me)..but the other half is stuff breaking or wearing out prematurely = UGH!

My legs didnt kick in until lap#2 of FH#10, dropped the 1 4 lapper that I was battling for not last, and held off two 3 lappers that managed to almost catch up.

My plan is to do the DarkHorse 40 this Sunday (Two laps, 20 miles each!)

But do I do the Treesaw &Sq-Earl's epic ride on Saturday??

ps: I WANT A NEW BIKE!!!!!!

PetersBurg pass

Sunday, I skipped the MOTM race at Hunter but did a group ride w/the MHCC. Talk about climbing.......Petersburg pass (which has been on my to do list for a while) was the big climb, and easier than I anticipated but the hills never stopped coming..I'd say 6,000ft in the 67 miles. Some of the roads we biked were new to me, and definitely the stuff that should make it into Tequila Doug's Century (coming this fall!)

One dude at mile 48 or so hit a climb hard, I chased...we dropped the group (he wanted to go fast cause he was on his new bling bike!!). We decided to keep the break going........and we were sitting in the shade of a tree as the group rolled into the parking lot at the end of the ride. good stuff
