The argument rages on as to what constitutes “Midwest”, but that age old debate is less important than what bike events you will be attending. Here is mine: Definite: Barry-Roubaix Iceman Cometh Challenge Maybe: Some fat bike race somewhere, I missed the registration for polar roll Michigan …

We don’t need more stinking gravel, we need UFFDA and GOPHER back!

[image] BobTheUnicorn: Lumberjack first timer here. Hoping for sub 10 hrs and go from there. I’ve done a few gravel 100 milers but never anything this ambitious. Mostly looking to have fun and cross the finish line. I can’t fathom going sub 8 hrs and just blame my weight :slight_smile: Fortunate…

@MI-XC , I think the free watts came through. My target was kind of arbitrary without any real idea of what I could do.

Everyone gets served hotdish (cassero…

Do they even have any hotels nearby? Was thinking about adding that one to the list. Edit: Be forewarned, I was just in Far…

Minnesota is generally Ok with the geography cops. But they don’t appreciate chatter about NE or Kansas. I think SD and ND get a pass because they don’t have as many events in general.

[image] BobTheUnicorn: How did your race go? Happy to hear you had a good race. My race went pretty good as well even though my legs didn’t feel great through the taper. Worst case scenario I wanted to be sub 8 hours with a stretch goal to be closer to 7:30. I exceeded my expectation finishin…
