Cardiac Classic

I took part in the Cardiac Classic yesterday. For those who know Burnaby mountain, the race included the famous cardiac hill, which was climbed 3 times. I was racing with a different bike this weekend. My Specialized Epic was on the fritz with a bad bottom bracket and despite the effort from the Gang and Experience Cycling, they just couldn't get one in on time. I got to ride Chris's bike, which is a sweet Norco full carbon hard tail bike. That bike weighs about 6 lbs lighter than mine. The weather for the race was perfect, overcast and cool. There were 15 guys in the master 30-39 division and I was hoping for a better placement than the last mountain bike race. After a few falls and a lot of mud I booked the 25 km in 2:04, which placed me 8th position. I was happy with my result considering I had done a half Iron the weekend prior. This Saturday I will be back at it again. The Test of Metal is classic 67 km mountain bike race in Squamish. This will take place this upcoming Saturday. Happy trails
