Took also part in the ‘marathonic event’… this year my second time.
The weather wasn’t that nice… a bit of rain at the end of the ride, very slippery while crossing/passing the tramrails in the city. But I prefered it over the sunny day last year.
Disappointing the lack of audience along the course caused by the bad weather. My new time: 1.55.05 . The transponder didn’t register my times. Only at the finish: 1.55.35 , but I passed the startline well over 30 sec after the shot was fired!
Awesome the speed of 36 geared beasts!! Even when you’re flying beside them.
Pictures from my ride today in Tsali Recreation Area in the mountains of North Carolina. I’m on a business trip in the area and am using my off time to get some Muni rides in on new trails. What a blast!

Nice pics! I want your t-shirt, Emile!
I went for a 50km coker muni ride today. I had some odd upds and broke the brake handle of my hs33 on one of them. Bummer… I thought it was impossible to hit it because I had it mounted sideways. Anyways, here’s some pics:
What kind of cow is that?! I’m guessing it’s livestock (versus wild roaming beasts) but I’ve never seen one with long red hair like that. Are they aggressive?
not completely sure about the Naomi, I haven’t ridden it more than that two miles, but so far so good : ) It feels a lot better down under at first glance.
The cows are Scottish highland cattle. They’re all over the place in that area. Until now I haven’t seen any aggressive behavior but I usually try not to get too close to them just in case. They seem to be very peaceful creatures. But sometimes they block the trails so you have to make a little detour.
Awesome - I didn’t know that they’d got further South than England.
They are very placid creatures as far as I know - there is one amazing trail near us, contouring round the side of a steep hillside, where you just keep coming up on them by surprise round corners, or hidden behind boulders, quite a surprise!
i decided to ride my muni to college yesterday, but took a more interesting route. If it were a video you would be hearing machine gun fire lol. Luckily the British army have a pretty good aim
