Bike Maintenance.
Getting to the Start Line is one of the biggest challenges in AR but getting taken out during a race due to a Bike Mechanical issue is probably the most Frustrating! How do you prevent it?
Avaya/Seagate won 7 World Champs in a row so that’s 2000 - 3000km x by 4 Bikes = 8000 - 12000km. No serious bike issues took them out! They must have had a good team maintenance plan in preparation.
What is your routine prerace?
Do you just put some oil on the chain and hope everything's good or do you take it to the bike shop or do it yourself?
Do you look to replace Pads, Cables, Chain and if needed perhaps even your Cassette?
What Tools and Spares do you take to a race?

Racing under the French flag but it’s a French, Brazilian mix and Adrian may be Spanish? Romy, Guillaume and Mariana are some of the most experienced racers around in AR. Romy recently won the A1 World Cup in France with Team Cap Opale on a very good technical course so he’s in good form. I remember Adrian at his first international race in India 2018 where his team finished 3rd. He was so stoked to get on the Podium. Adrian has come a long way since then as they are likely to push into the Top 5 at the ARWS World Champs. There may only be two French teams this year but they are likely to go head to head and could both finish in the Top 5.
Expenature finished 6th at Eco Challenge, one place ahead of Thunderbolt!
My full Team's preview will be out Tuesday North American time!

If anyone else wants exposure to my 7700 Adventure Racing and Adventure Junkies Followers and would like to support my Race Coverage please contact me at - [email protected]
Over the last month 51% of people I’ve reached or that have viewed my posts were not Followers so I reach a lot more people than just my 7700 Followers. A Post I did on Fear Youth recently had 19700 views and 75% weren’t followers of my page. So my reach goes well beyond the normal AR crowd.

This is a real shame for Team Canada Adventure as I'm sure they would have put in a huge amount of time and effort up to this stage. I had them as the top North American hope with Podium potential. As with every race there are tough decision to be made. Kia Kaha - stay strong. . AR Live Coverage like no other

We've been around adventure racing long enough to understand that sometimes the hardest part is getting to the start line. Sometimes, you don't make it.
Our team was so excited to take on the Subaru Canada Adventure Racing World Championship later this month - to compete against the world's best and take on the course in British Columbia.
Unfortunately, slow recovery from a nagging injury has forced us to make the difficult decision to withdraw. We would be unable to compete at the level we want to and to do this championship course justice. Extremely disappointed, but we'll be cheering, not only for Canadian teams, but all racers and the organizers and a great event.

Everyone's favourite team East Wind are back for another World Champs. Lead by Masato Tanaka one of the most experienced racers in AR. He never seems to look any older but he has been racing for well over 25 years. The other members look very young and it's great to see a 50/50 team ( 2 Females and 2 Males ).

Women of AR, one of only four teams to clear the full course at the USARA National Champs. A fantastic performance and it will also be interesting to watch the Mountain Design Wild Women from Australia at Expedition Canada World Champs. I'm expecting them to finish Top 20.

Training.
When I saw this photo it made me think of a Steve Gurney book I read. In it he said, whenever he did a training session with others, if the instructor said to do 10 reps he would do 11 or 12. So he was always doing 10 or 20% more than everyone else. This didn’t just give him a physical edge but also a mental one as when he stood on the startline he felt he was 10 or 20% fitter and stronger than anyone else so all he had to do was execute his plan. He won a record 9 Coast to Coast races! Probably the toughest Multisport race in NZ to win.
How heavy is your backpack, or how many bikes do you carry up a hill in Training!? This is a very good post below ..

I'm not sure how teams manage to get so much footage but this is a great package from Team Thisability Adventure Racing at the recent Adventure 1 World Cup Final in France. Day 1 features, off trail Hiking, some technical Mountain Biking and Caving. It was a fantastic course and great race.
