Sunday Funday

Kick: VR40 over VR45

Glide: Rex Blue

Race Note: Yesterday the tracks were cut deep into somer firmer and icyer snow which required an uptick in the grade at the venue. Had the tracks not been cut into the icy layer underneath the VR40 was rocket fast and had great kick. With the icyer tracks under the new snow once a few passes went it required softening your wax to make an adjustment. Rode Multigrade violet was the ticket 2 layers over the race wax with a thicker section underfoot. Better kick than 95% of the people around. Also with the icyer cut underneath in hindsight the binder of Powergrip Blue would have been a touch better, but the wax seemed to not wear off at all over the 51k so this is a minor issue. The Rode did lose some glide over the flouro waxes but with 10 mins to start it is a go to for kick.
