KOM/QOM #3 - The cold sets in

Little chilly tomorrow, but at least not a great chance of rain. As always we meet at the bottom of the Houde at 6:30 on Thursday for an epic morning of hill climbing. If you need more details, check out the previous posts.

Feeling sick. this may be davids week

will ride intermediate if there aren’t any other beginner rides.

I’ll do anything after Mont-Sainte-Anne…

Already making excuses Mike? Feeling the pressure of being #1 perhaps.

Lots of great competition today

Int QOM/KOM

There were some upsets. There was some blood, sweat, tears, and a bit of vomit on this ride. Kudos to all who braved the cold to show up for another extremely tactical week of intermediate racing. The strongest rider doesn’t always win, sometimes a clever bastard can win too. Regarding vomit: Keep in mind that Dennis once puked on a KOM and he’s now an extremely solid A racer. Keep on pukin’ (but not really).

Could someone give me an advice on how not to fall while climbing the cemetery wall ?

Whats So cool about that cassette ?

it will make you not fall

That is a giant cog

My assumption was that you fell because you were grinding too slowly. The 32T cog will let you spin up the steepest climbs! (don’t actually buy it, it was just a joke)

I’m actually not surprised that the biggest cog on that cassette is black

Alright, thanks David
