Wilderness 101... who's in? Mucho fun.

[Dave Taylor]

I did this for the first time last year and it's such a great do. Ot miss event. 100 miles and 10k climbing but most of it is on fire roads. 5 aid stations fully stocked. You can't go wrong. It's not far from home, in a great town, with a great after party and you can dunk in the river immediately after the finish... @Mitch @pearl @Uzzi_SL @Riggedfmx @wonderturtle @JohnA ?

 

[Mitch]

I agree .

 

[Dave Taylor]

And

I agree .

@Mitch . I saw your HOH ride...u ain't gettin out of w101 that easy.

 

[Mitch]

It's not the up as much as the downs. I have a Dr's note to excuse me.
I have time on this to decide. I did 3 of them and loved them all

 

[Pearl]

Sigh.

Seriously considering it for this year. Plenty of time for me to decide.

Drop the knowledge, where's it at?

Coburn, pa near state college. These rocks are short lived . I'd say not more than 5 miles of real tech stuff at most.

State College PA. One of the best and longest running races around. Beautiful central PA singletrack with some monster forest road climbs in there. The big climbs are 2-4.5 miles long. It makes you earn every mile though.

Too micho pain for me. One day.

Anyone else doing ss?

 

[Mitch]

SS. Thats just stupid.

 

[JDurk]

Enjoy racing my rigid SS in local XC races, but definitely using the Scalpel for W101.

I was kidding. This race is SS friendly if you're ok with climbing. 80% of the single track is downhill and the rest is flat or low grade+ .
My best recommendation to ANYONE doing this raceis to put Bar Ends on your bike. So much up and so much power transfer, at least for me that they are a life saver.

I knew you were fibbing. Familiar with what the trails are like there, did TSEpic last year and doing it again this year.

Ha, them im preaching to the choir. Then you already know how great the course is. And how the steep those Downhills are

 

[Pearl]

As SS "friendly" of a 100 mile race as I could imagine actually... I'm not sure if I miss the terrain more or the cadre/mitch/schilling shenanigans by the fire for two nights
