Back on Tubeless again
The feeling of tubeless is just 'different'. Hard to describe, but i'd say the feel of the trail was much better on my race wheels today, riding with Lenny on some of the tamer bits of the Yarra singletrack.
We got some burn time on Lenny's new lights, testing out the brightness and our 'night vision'. Progressively, we'll head towards better terrain and get more used to night movement. Critical in any endurance MTB race that takes competitors into the night.
I really hope the FGP and the Mont events will give me that extra oomph in terms of night skills, which i have been needing to brush up on this year, in addition to my current IM commitments.
Tomorrow, into the hills again on the skinny-wheeled bike....
