This is my second Trans-Provence. Looking forward to it, from what I gather it is 100% different to when I rode it first. I've had two years of injuries so I want to get through it cleanly and enjoy it. I haven't set a target. I want to ride with my friends and enjoy it.
I'm riding an Orange prototype, which is likely to be their new 160 bike. I used a 140mm bike last time, but this bike is a bit longer and slacker. The fork is at 170, and I'm riding a single ring 30T and 11-46 on the rear. I run flats and probably only one of a handful to do so but that's the way I've always liked it.
I love blind racing, some of the most fun runs I've had, even when just riding where blind. Six days of that on shit hard trails is excting
