I can't even keep track, I think this is my sixth. It keeps changing that's what keep bringing me back. There are so many variables that can go wrong though, there are no guarantees that you won't get lost or get stuck when trying to get over a fence. It's like a big reunion every year, which keeps bringing me back. We're all a bit competitive, you do want to do well. This one is a bit different though as there are so many things that can go wrong. It's not over till its over, so its better to come with a mindset to enjoy. Enjoy the journey. I'm riding a Juliana Roubion, this year's edition is a bit bigger and the geometry has changed. Plus I've got a bigger Lyrik fork upfront, a 32T chainring upfront. Nothing special, it's my reliable proven bike which climbs and descends great. On to the beach!
