I couldn't agree more with Johnny. So fn harcore. The way you describe everything here is just epic. Anyone who doesn't dig a little deeper to get out of their comfort zone and try something to push their personal boundaries after reading your post is wasting oxygen, IMHO. Awesome job being a true inspiration.... and more importantly living to ride another day

Clothing is relatively easy, it's everything else. I can only test gear with the weather we get and then learn as I go along. Trial by fire. Or ice? Trial by ice. And I'm not afraid to ask questions, take suggestions, and experiment. I pay attention to what the other races are wearing and gear they use. We are still a relatively small group of folks so most of us have become pretty good friends and help each other along.

No. This set-up sucks. You need to be able to change layering as things get wet and temperatures change.

Maybe you can convince the wife and work to let you fly out a month early next year for gear testing as well as temperature and elevation acclimation.
This - convince Hilltop to open a shop in Fargo, ND

This had me wondering...
What is the science in how long a human body can stay alive in those temperatures... I watch all those survivor shows and they make claims of how long a person can be in those conditions until hypothermia starts to take over.

Yeah but they leave out a bunch of stuff like what you are weather and what activity you are you doing...based on this, Jim would be dead in 2 hours.

That's not me, just a picture I found when searching about goggles while biking.
I'm looking for a way to protect my eyes while it is snowing, but still keep my nose warm
Its the great thing about goggles...they never fog (I mean as long as you dont but a $5 pair that isnt vented) and when you combine them with a mask, its like riding indoors.

Here's a similar story. God damn that sounds cold.

That's last year's winner, Neil. Read Aaron's report on the Fat Pursuit page. He's the only one to finish the 200-Miler this year. Makes what I went through look like a mild Spring Day.
Read Aaron's report, damn, crazy stuff. Got a little choked up when his family and 6 year old was waiting for him at the finish line. Certainly pushing the boundaries of human survival on a bike/in general.

I posted a video on IG riding during the end of the storm yesterday. The wind and precipitation up on Mt. Two Top had to be considerably worse.
This was visibility out in the burn area above CP2. There's huge mountains all around but you can't see any of them.
