One of my favourite trails in the Whakarewarea. About 40km into the 107km Whaka100.
Race didn’t go exactly to plan but it was still a great day on the bike.

That sure seems like a stock image per my ham fisted Google Image search:
This account looks questionable. I just handled a spam post from a while ago, that I found when checking this out.

My first race on my TT bike from this past Saturday:
It was definitely a learning experience, but at least my fit seemed good.

From the Barry Roubiax ‘23 aka ‘The dust bowl’ — I’m in that first photo somewhere, and the other two were taken before I crashed

The spirit of gravel came to me in the middle of the night and told me it was ok to use them.
I was happy to have kept it rubber side down, I put myself in a bad position and almost paid for it(it was ~163 miles in, fatigue was high). To be fair, the photo doesn’t do justice to how steep of a descent that was(in the -15%ish range)
