MTB time trial

The biannual mountain bike time trial was set over a relatively short course this year, owing partially to the fact that the chain broke on the one and only mountain bike we had. When we replaced it (as you might expect from a chain worn enough to break) the chain slipped under pressure because of the extreme wear in the cogs. So climbing in anything but the largest (and thus rarely used) cog was impossible. Each rider was given two chances. In the initial round BAD led with 1:42, followed by SS at 1:46, and KJ in third at 2:03. But in the second round BAD and SS could not better their first round times, while KJ streak to 1:38 to finally claim the family title outright for the first time.

Slight correction, KJ was 1:36 and his terrible first time was due to the chain dropping and getting stuck in between the chain rings.
