It doesn't look like I will be able to make it... life has gotten in the way and cycling will have to take a back seat this summer. If anyone is interested in signing up drop me a line and we can arrange a transfer at a…

Done... I don't know if that's the hardest thing I've ever done but I know for a fact I've never been to that dark of a place before. At one point I stopped and texted my wife that I was done with bikes forever and she…

Thanks. Room is booked. I think my own bathroom, coffee, and a bed is worth $80! Staying at the same place so maybe we can ride over together in the morning. Can’t wait for this race... although I have lots of fun…
You’ve got it... HAMR has been replaced by The Crusher, which offers a few distances. I’m signed up for 225 miles of stupidity (meant in the best way possible!), which is point 2 point from Copper Harbor to Marquette. I…

Thanks for the response! I’ve read that blog post a few times! For now I will plan on my Woodsmoke hard tail as I don’t have a full suspension bike... the idea of the hotel is brilliant! Any recommendation on which one…
Added some new wheels (I9 Ultralite 235 with purple spikes) and swapped over my shock stem and Salsa Woodchipper bars from my old bike. Finished it off with some purple bar tape. Ready for Land Run!
Anyone have any thoughts on the impact of tomorrow and Wednesday's rain? Temps look good so no frost/thaw issues, but a local told me at one point last week they were calling for a significant amount of rain tomorrow.…
Thanks... I overheated once wearing my Wolfhammer's and it's an experience I don't want to repeat. Of course it was my own fault as the temp got up to 30 during the ride, I was just stubborn and wanted to try out my new…
I am always struggling with cold feet and recently scored a pair of Ranarok shoes/boots for a steal (should be here tomorrow). I'm in MI so they should serve me well for fall and spring riding, but I have Land Run next…
Has anyone ridden The Crusher (formerly HAMR)? If not, is there anyone familiar with the “roads” up there (I use that term loosely). I just picked up a Woodsmoke 29”+ hardtail for a screaming deal at GRBC. I will be…
I have over 1k miles on Zwift so far this year, having trouble mustering any motivation. It absolutely saved me last year though. Not seeing the sun for 3 months probably isn’t helping my motivation levels. Hopefully it…
I am so far and out of shape it’s not even funny... and I have Land Run in 17 or so days. It’s going to be a long day. I have absolutely zero mojo right now to get on the trainer... I am just burned out on winter.…
You’re not alone. I’ve been a wimp this winter about riding outside and am getting sick of the trainer. I seem to put together a solid 3-4 week build, then I get bored and take 3-4 weeks off. That cycle continues again…
Oh, one more thing... if I can finish C2C then someone who can finish Barry 100 is 6 hours can definitely do it!
I’m extra dumb this year and signed up for both the long and ultra course series. For the Ultra I’m doing Barry, HK, C2C and Crusher. I did C2C last year and loved it, even though I was one of the last finishers. I’m…
I woke up one morning and had an email about the lottery... I was confused as hell but figured my buddies signed me up as a joke. Nope, turns out I took a sleeping pill and registered without remembering it! Fortunately…
