Marty's FAT 50 2018

[xc62701]

Oh and I hope there's a bigger bonfire in the parking lot this year cause I'm coming back to the shop with hypothermia...

light rain to rain back to light rain.....
I did this race the other year in good conditions..a lot colder it was. I did a few Ultras this year and not in that shape I was but did the Crotched Mt ultra 100 on the fattie and it was so much fun but sloppy most parts. I had the right bike for the New England mountains I'll tell ya that.

how do you think it'll be on the course? Prob need a poncho huh..

There's one section that will be a shitshow of a muddy clusterfuck. The rest is rail trail. The mud will be mile ~9.6 to ~11.2 on the way out, and then whatever that works out to on the way back. If the temps are in the mid 40's to start, maybe a little embro to protect/warm the legs? I dunno...

 

[Steve Vai]

Baselayer suggestion. Assuming we all have one of these correct?

 

[Bizarro]

Assuming correct sir.
Thanks for the spare suit for me. Fits so well.

Fire will be burning all day! Hot food as well! Although at 50+ degrees I doubt you will get cold even if it
rains. You know the deal just ride tempo from start to finish with 0 stopping.

I think this is going to be a little bit more than moist for Saturday. Bring on the hazmat suit...

in!

Where do you see 50 degrees? My apps are telling me its gonna be 40 at the start and drop to 30 by the finish.

Weather Underground has low 40s at the start and low 30s by the finish.

That's odd my app says temps are going to be much colder in Califon too... You did put in Califon NJ right?

That's exactly what a few sites are saying. It's gonna be chilly by the end. I guess I have to go harder then to keep warm!

 

[Superfly100guy]

Temps did drop since I did that screen shot this morning but no rain after 6am

I would have fenders and something to keep my feet dry but those temps are like summer after doing this ride at 10 degrees

I'm bringing a snorkel, mask, and a squeegee. I should be all set!

 

[xc62701]

Every time I check the forecast the temps are getting colder. I'm gonna bring a snuggie now too.

Hoping the cold can numb the pain of this freshly dislocated rib in my back. This should be a good recovery ride right?

 

[Bizarro]

weird.. might have ribs for dinner.

Heal well David.... how did that happen?
