Big Jay's Fat @$$ - 6-hour - Another Cruzbike Victory

[LarryOz]

Here is my report from my Big Jay's 6-hour ride this last weekend, July 15th.
It was the UMCA's 6-hour National Championship. New 6-hour course record to boot. Enjoy. Video to follow.

Congratulations on the new record Larry! Not a record for winning but you finally set a record for not wrecking. That's one in a row, here's to keeping the streak alive! Well done all around.

Funny Hardy.
As far as major events go, I think I am up to 7 for this year (2017) actually! It has been a good year. Mostly attribute this to tubless and a little luck.
1.) Sebring 12-hour (264m)- no flats - no wrecks
2.) HPRA racing at Brian Picollo Veledrome - no flats - no wrecks
3.) Bessie's Creek (142m) - no flats - no wrecks
4.) Raven Rock Ramble (104m) - 2 flats - no wrecks
5.) 7 days RAAM training (~900 miles) - 1 flat - no wrecks
6.) RAAM ( ~850 miles)- 3 flats - no wrecks
7.) Big Jay's 6-hour (138m) - no flats - no wrecks

That's 6 flats and no wrecks - that has to be the record for me!

Great write up Larry. As always, thanks for sharing. You referenced that you are staying in the area for an event next weekend---will be interested to hear how that goes.

Enjoyed the write up and pleased you didn't fall. Looking forward to the RAAM write up too.

Larry that's a very good record!!!

Were any of the flats with tubeless?
Three flats in 850 miles in the RAAM is a lot!
Was the road side very dirty?

Was the road side very dirty?

Very dirty - We rode on many divide type highways with major traffic. We were told to ride on the apron.
That is were I always got my flats.

Were the tyres on the RAAM tubeless, and if so what little delights did your tyres pick up?

Congratulations Larry! Thanks for a great read. Keep the rubber side down

The were ProOne tubeless. One was slashed a good 2-2 inches. looked like metal. Other's were punctures - probably glass
