Post 12 hour race
So I did a meager 6 laps in 12 hours. really 8.5 hours. I dropped out early-ish due to the horrible pain/numbness in my hands and arms. The fully rigid bike was clearly not the right tool for the job. Single speeding it wasn’t too bad, but that bike just beat me up, and the single speed kinda kicked me while i was down. Gotta find a deal on a suspension fork this winter. Hands have been so bad that I still haven’t commuted on the bike. I’ve made a couple little trips to Hy-Vee and such, but nothing as long as a commute. Hopefully they’ll get better soon, they feel almost 100% but grabbing the handle bars still doesn’t feel so hot.
