Thank you to the 20+ brave souls that took off in the early, freezing cold hours of the morning to get in a day of gravel grinding I can't wait to hear how everyone's rides shaped up. The day started around 25 degrees…
Apex, great job! I'm 1 for 2 now as I dropped out at Cottonwood (151 miles). I overheated in that third leg and spent quite a while getting into that third CP. Tried to eat and get myself back on the road, but it just…
Good luck with the race everyone! Kind of difficult waiting till Saturday at this point
Exploring some of the roads around Buffalo Creek rec area in Colorado. Ended up with 57 miles and over 6k in elevation gain. Lots of miles to cover out there, especially if you mix in a few specs of pavement. There's…
Some more Douglas/Elbert County for you:
There are paid gravel events and there are free gravel events. You can choose to do both, either, or none. The free events are little more than group rides in most ways: they're self-supported, mostly self timed, and…
Sounded like the top ~4 walked it at very least. Congrats on making it through there! (I DNF'd right before there )!
Looking forward to tomorrow!
Depending on the road conditions, you'll find braking bumps, soft dirt/gravel, sand, etc. that would make running a road tire a bit tough. Normal cx tires would go a long way and fatter rubber even better I've run 32s…
Is there an "official" detour for the B-Road? Looks like two options: Right on Hwy-86 (paved) instead of crossing it, left on Co Rd 77 (dirt), right on 98 (back on course) - ~11 miles to Rd 94/73 Or don't turn on…
I usually use hours as it helps with differences in what I'm riding, e.g., a 4 hour MTB is less mileage than a 4 hour road ride. If you know roughly your speeds, hours can give you an idea of mileage and you can account…
The two things that popped into my mind was check around Breckenridge. Some of the properties there are vacation rentals and there's a resort/hotels. I have 0 idea what Tiger Run Resort is like, but the CT passes right…
As far as I can tell, the Marathon Cross are no longer. In general I was disappointed finding most brands seem to have dropped much of their 35-40 sizing and that the "hey these are heavy but strong" tires were few. For…
Rode the front 66 miles of the AE on Saturday. Windy to start, but good conditions most of the time. First 4k+ elevation gain ride of 2014 was tough! Couple notes: Before getting to Maul Rd there's an erosion ditch…
Cedar Cross is an awesome 100mi race out in central MO. If you're out that way you should check it out: https://www.bikereg.com/Net/the-cedar-cross http://cedarcross.wordpress.com/
I used Schwalbe Marathon Cross tires last time, but I can't find them again (yet): http://www.amazon.com/Schwalbe-Marathon-Trekking-700x38-Allround/dp/B00277KIBK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top I could fit 40c tires on my…
First time I finished in 15:43, which included two sit down off the bike breaks. I'd hope to get down below 15 hours ... but that just depends! Looks like sunset is 8:43pm…
I'm in for DK for a second time. Goal this time around is to finish a bit faster than last. Or just to finish.
Thanks for the info! I was mostly concerned about road conditions and knowing that it was popular motor area that it wouldn't be the most friendly, but sounds like something to still checkout. If I figure out a time I…
