Zia Rides TommyKnocker 10
Fort Bayard, NM • Apr 6 2024 https://my.raceresult.com/275529…This year's race was COLD. We woke up to snow flurries and a temperature of 32 degrees, with the wind chill making it feel even colder. Kim was paired up with Maripat for a Female Duo and I was paired up with Ries for a Male Duo. The race course was about 13 miles in length with about 1000 feet of climbing per lap. The first lap is only 10 miles in length primarily on a dirt road for the first 4+ miles to spread everyone out. A fun course but the high winds, gusts to 40 MPH accompanied with the cold certainly made for a challenging day on the bike.
Kim did 3 laps, with the shorter first lap time of 49:26, then laps 2 & 3, 1:18:36 and 1:20:49
Our lap times were all within 3-4 minutes of each other so a good steady pace. I did the start lap and the 4 more and Ries did 4 for our total of 9 laps. We were pretty happy with a 5th place as we were certainly the oldest Male Duo team.
