first post


We headed out of town this weekend for the last mountain bike race of the season and the first cross race of the season, they were in the same town. Since I had limited space in my car I only had room for my son’s Jabberwocky, his cross bike, and my bike. So I decided to race my Badersnatch both days. Saturday was the mountain bike race and my first race on the Bandersnatch. I had been racing my Jabberwocky all season so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I took 2nd in my age class and 8th overall, I was very happy. Sunday was the cross race so I put on some 700X35mm cross tires. It makes for kind of a strange looking cross bike, but boy does that thing climb. There were no run ups for me only ride ups. The best part was I got the 1st place award for best combined results of both days, and it was on the same bike!
