    It would be cool to,interview Bob and ask home what he’s gained by getting back in the saddle over the last couple of years. Also the hardships with a broken hand etc. I think more older people need to hear that story. Hopefully we all are riding at 79.

    Good Race Macky and Bob...I'm 73 so I know of what he speaks...though he is a few years ahead of me....I really admire Bob's enthusiasm and his willingness to train ever harder next year! He sure appreciated Syd's pacing him....I lot of fun to watch!!....Macky....you would have been closer to the front had that other racer not fallen in front of you! Thanks for another great episode!

    Those Aspen ST's are reminiscent of the old Ritchey Speedmax tires I used to race with back in the early 2000's. Surprising amount of grip in loose over hard terrain and incredibly fast rolling.

    Kudos on you and your awesome dad Bob (and Syd as well obviously 🙂) Bob is an inspiration! I'm 59 now and due to not sporting too much after my 30th until 5 years ago, I'm actually in the best shape I've been in in 30+ years. It feels good and it even feels better to see Bob doing this riding at age 79! It make me feel I'd have some 20 years of nice biking ahead of me, which feels good

    I love that kind of riding. Also love the NM bottle cap stem cover thing. I grew up riding in New Mexico and have always considered New Mexico home. Even though I have lived in California since 1975. I keep going back several times a year to visit and ride. I have not ridden in Farmington yet. Looks like my next road trip. There's a really nice golf coarse there I love to play. The golf clubs will have to come also.

    Another brilliant video. Bob is the man 💪. Technical question for you both if you don't mind. Do you switch between suspension setting much in a race? Rear shock and front or do you leave them fully open once you get going? I'm new to full suspension cross country bikes. Currently have a Cervelo ZFS with 120mm front and 100mm rear.

    Macky..i think you showed the clock time not the winning chip time ? or can someone explain the difference?

    • @sydandmacky
      @sydandmacky  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Chip time is based on when each person crossed the timing mat at the start. Clock time (aka gun time) is based on the race start time. The results online that are sorted by chip time are incorrect. They used clock time which is the standard for most races and makes sense when the race might come down to a sprint. Chip time is generally used for individual start events (like DH or Enduro).

      Interesting. I think I'd be against it as I like that it's part of the decision and somewhere that you sometimes have to make tough decisions. Instead I'd like more races where you just wouldn't want to run light tires because the trails were too difficult!

Being a 56 year old beginner status rider racing against experts ranging from ages of 18-40 my chances are slim to none to pull off a podium. My goals are to finish and improve my PR from last year.
