MEGAVALANCHE 2017 Alpe d'Huez MEGA CHALLENGER

I've said it before...probably the most fun i've had on two wheels. I started 3 rows back and completed the course in 1:07:08, in 78th place. Compared to 2015, i've had a stellar snow section and was able to maintain speed through most of the steep snow, some on my bike, some on my ass. My brakes started to fade in the top wood section in spite of using 4 pot shimano zee and sintered pads so i had to pump my levers from there on. This contributed to the already soul crushing arm pump and i had a little off in the lower wood section. I was absolutely not riding the woods at my regular speed. Still, got down in one piece with the bike still working and shaved off 22 minutes from my previous time. Totally happy!
