TERRA STAGE 2 Falls Creek – Dinner Plain
106km, 2200+m elevation gained
Another tough day in the saddle, crossing a huge valley from Falls Creek to Dinner Plain {just down the road from Mt Hotham}
With some more very steep, true granny ring climbing rewarded with all out bombing, super fast descents, choosing some tractor like tires getting us through without flatting even though the rolling resistance suffered a little on some of the flatter faster fire roads, worth the trade off I reckon, as your not too quick on the side of the track playing bush mechanic.
Feeling a bit better today & getting through pretty much unscathed apart from a twisted chain about 10km from home, with a bit of a tweak got us across the line without loosing too much time & thanks to the event mechanics for sorted me out with a nice new Sram chain.
The boy's burning the candle.
The highlight of the day again being the spectacular scenery & the perfect autumn weather, not to forget throwing the fresh mountain air into the mix.
Live to ride, ride to live,
