Sunday past was the first Hong Kong Cycling Association mountain bike race I've ridden at in some time, with the Sheung Shui course much improved over the last time I raced there (2009?!?). It's now a reasonably technical short off road loop, but jees- 15 laps for Open Category took us almost 2hrs- a long time at full XC intensity without someone to pass you up bottles. As it happened I just about limped in for a 4th place result, but not before a crash, an exploding chainset (look closely at the picture and you won't see a big ring) and my forks had stopped working. Time for some serious mechanical work on the Turner... Thanks to Gary Lai for the photo.
