Anyone else in? registration opened @ 4:00pm Central. Managed to grab a slot…looks like it is still open if anyone is interested.

Did the Pirelli Shakeout ride….very happy I decided to put 45’s on. That schitt is CHUNKY! Also rolled by the Silca tent and discovered my pump that I use for travel was not even close to accurate…thought I had 20psi in the tires and I had 30. :scream:

Good luck and/or congrats to everyone who raced this today Would love to hear a report on how it went … course vs. tire choice, organization, navigation (sorry … that’s my BWR PTSD), etc. Was it a pure gravel race, or was there singletrack? Hope you all had a good ride🤘 Also … big day for the Mi…

That was a brutally hard day….wind was howling straight from the south at 20+mph and the last 40 miles were pretty much straight into it…which also happens to coincide when I was basically solo for the rest of the day. I was kinda hoping for a 6:30 finish (~16mph) and I was over 7 hours….I popped m…

Congrats! Did you make a good tire choice?

DEFINITELY!!! Maxxis Rambler 45’s w/ Vittoria inserts…ran them ~20psi. So glad I switched to 45’s! ETA - SO many flats out there…riders flatting everywhere throughout the day. Carnage.

Had a pretty good race until the race turned back south. I don’t know the wind speed but I was heading on a stretch of road headed south and was putting out 200 watts and and going between 8-10mph. I was pretty demoralizing. Ran 38c specialized pathfinders and had a flat early on that sealed with…

[image] makahle1s: I was heading on a stretch of road headed south and was putting out 200 watts and and going between 8-10mph Had the exact same experience…you’d see dust swirls heading down the road n the gusts. It was crazy. The only thing more demoralizing was on the final climb, when yo…

It was a brutal day for sure. It’s amazing how many turns we made and still had a 20mph headwind the whole way back lol. I ran 42 Pathfinders and had no issues, but was rock dodging and bunny hopping all day.

Ran the Pathfinder Pro 42s, Tubolight Inserts, Enve G23s - 30 psi front and rear. No flats and had solid traction on all the steep sections. I did Big Sugar last year and this year. The course was far looser and dustier this year. You had to be comfortable with feeling like you were riding on ma…

I was curious about Payson as well. I actually saw him on Friday and chatted with him for a short time. He told me what equipment he was running and then I wished him luck. He was super nice and talked to my daughter who is a big fan of his. You know you are officially a cyclist when the only at…
