Final prep for LBL...
Everyone is getting the last few loose ends tied up for LBL this weekend. Race director Jason Elsenrat suggested in a update post that we pack spare derailleur hangers for the biking due to all the downed branches. I've been on a team when we busted a derailleur hanger... Now it's pretty funny thinking back to Burke cursing every time he threw the chain off his improvised single speed, and then looking like he was riding a clown bike the last 3 hours of the race. At the time it happened though? Not so funny. Needless to say, racing in the ravaged landscape should be interesting!
The race field is impressive with lots of strong teams in the 24 hour coed division. It will certainly make a strong finish much more challenging, but more rewarding too!
Wish us luck!
