Hell of Hunterdon 2017

[Santapez]

Monkey Knife Fight I'm now just thinking my cross bike. Single ring on the front (38) makes me think that may suck for HOH though. There were definitely faster sections on that course.

Then again, Mitch was on a single speed last year...

Stroopwafels people.

Now what fun would that be?

I'd ride from home, but the start point is over 30 miles away... not sure I can really add another 60+ miles to the day. Especially this early in the season. I'll be happy if I finish the whole ride in under 6 hrs.

It's a traffic light by the Shell in ringoes.

Correct That's Wertzville rd at 31/202.

at the next corner is a good place to stop for coffee and crumb cake! Carousel Deli.....about mile 22. will call sag from there.

I had those contis blow out on me on the longest day with under 200 miles.

Please explain... Glass, puncture, massive wattage overload?

Looking at the reg list, this thing is turning into the Cyclocrossers Anonymous spring meeting.

Not sure, no significant anything I was awareof. The entire tread blew out and then a sidewall.

Yes! Great subs. Used to live over on johanna farms road. If you start bonking then you can also head back to hillbilly hall.

In for this stupidity, pissed that I missed it last year which had probably the best weather of the previous 5 times I did it

Are 25c tires ok for this ride or go wider? What will fit under a 105-5800 brake?

Brakes? lol, you still use them? They will just slow you down.

I ride 23C (on wide rims). It's not worth over-thinking.

Can someone help me out early in the AM nail down some barriers on a gravel uphill?

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

The resistance from the gravel descents is enough to not need brakes.

The beer and food after make it worth it

Yea that's ok I can get plenty of beer and food elsewhere for way less than $75 bucks.

These tires are solid.
oops, I Dave Taylored.
