Dan, I too was a mountain bike racer......errrr, that is till "the incident" :shake head:. Good shape+high endurance+red clay/mud+17 miles=knees lock up on long climb! Shoulda realized that just cause I could pass all those people through the mud and on the hills that I could have just waited till the downhills. It was fun till then though! I practically lived on my bikes.
me too, i spent 5-6 hours a day on my cannondale team bike
