Le Pleney Chainless - 2016

26/6/2016

0 Comments

 
The Sun came out this Wednesday for BikeMorzines first mates race of the season, with a good turn out of 40 riders of all different ages, sexes and from all over the world. The track was a timeless classic, Le Pleney Mainline (black) but with the twist of No-Chain being allowed on your bike, this meant the aim of the game was exit speed and putting bike handling skills well above fitness.

Le Pleney mainline has seen better days with the "less than tropical" start to the season, leaving enough holes to shake your hands clean off the bars (See: Will Leverton and Tom Dixon). This combined with the slightly moisture on the ground  meant the course was running significantly slower than last year, but that didn't stop Morzines finest guys and girls from pinning their way down the 4 - 6 minute course at full race pace.

Above: Joel Anderson may have not won the race (4th Place) but he did win our hearts with this steezy No-Legger.
Last years 2nd place and Morzine's Semi-Local-Kiwi-GC Hayden Lockhart took the overall win with a 04:09, closely followed by Keegan Wright (04:13) and Guy Gibbs (04:15).
