17 Laps

I arrived at the farm around 0840, went ahead and got my packet and marking. A few minutes later Chris pulled in. We set up the camp site together with Tim's team, did some last minute wrenching, and at 1100 the race started. Chris went first and we alternated every lap. About 30 minutes into my first lap I had a flat. Once I got back to the camp site I slapped on a tubeless front wheel, and never had any mechanical since.

Chris pulled some fast low 30 minutes laps and I did high 30 minutes. Half time passed we were on the teams 11th lap. When the lights turned on things started to slow down. We ended up with 17 laps and called it a day to enjoy pizza and bluegrass music.

The GPS trace looks horrible and I believe that's because of its smart recording. The unit simply doesn't have enough memory to handle long rides. Chris' is here (his first lap wasn't recorded).

Overall, I only had one flat, one OTB endo, and a couple out of pedal slips. I can live with that.
