Yesterday was Matt's first foray into ultra distance events, he toed the line for the Capitol Forest 50 mile mountain bike race. You may remember from earlier posts that he had intentions to complete the 100 mile distance, however, come race day he decided that 50 was a better plan.
I wasn't there so the recap is going to be pretty brief. He finished, had fun, and plans to do the 100 mile next year. He did have one bump, about 6 miles from the finish his chain broke and ripped his derailleur hanger off. This cost him 30 minutes spent on the side of the trail tinkering with his bike so it would work again, bummer...
