I’m in wave 1 at Barry. Trying to mentally get ready to get a spot for sand
Wave 1 for the 36 … still on my quixotic quest for an AG podium🤘
Okay I’ll see you there then, I’m in the same start!
I added The Lawless to my list. Mostly because I am traveling to that area regularly for work now. I may as well have some fun out that way too.
I’m Wave 1, as well……
Rode 60 miles of the 100 mile course for Driftless 100. Who else is planning on going? Course was in pretty great condition! The climb 2 miles in will absolutely stretch everything out. If you’ve never ridden in the driftless area, I would highly suggest going! Fantastic scenery and a brutally hard course! Hope I can get in the sub-7 club on this one. Managed 15.1mph on what felt like a close pace that I could hold for another 40 miles. 
Weather leading into Barry looks awesome
Weather for Barry looks suspect
Schizophrenic weather is the charm of the Midwest, right? 
Inconsistent training is the problem
Cory,
I was signed up for the Driftless, per your recommendation, and was super excited about it. But I had to scratch due to some kind of ‘death virus’ that has kept me off the bike the last four weeks. Really bummed, but will be targeting it for next year. And who knows, maybe I’ll even ride a portion of it when I’m looking for some adventure this summer.
If you’re ever in the area and want company, feel free to reach out! I grew up in the area and I’d be happy to be a ‘tour guide’!
@MI-XC watched your video of barry 2023.
Forgot how unfun the sand is
At least this year you won’t melt! I ran out of water last year. Yes, the sand hike-a-bike is stupid!
I need to mentally put myself in the top 30 if I want to finish well.
Team mate got top 20 last year and said he had to chase on after the sand
Good luck! This is “C” priority race for me, so I’m just looking to stay safe!
I put it as a B
7 weeks till unbound
Yup…that is me. I have no interest in mixing it up at the front of the race with people who have no business being up there. I want to ride hard, test myself and my legs but, most of all, survive. 
And the reality is that I am gonna come into the race with some pretty tired legs after this weekend. Results are not a priority for me at B-R.
Yeah you had a massive week.
Same, I’ll be around -30 Form at the end of week 3 Build.
Welp…no need for me to worry about doing well now. Just checked and I am in Wave 2, not Wave 1.
