Wilderness 101...who's in?

[JimN]

Jim its a good idea to stay with the flow for the early miles and latch onto groups to pull you through the long road sections so don't go to slow.
It's goes much easier with others

Thanks, I'm sure there will be some other slow pokes to ride with at the back.

Truth.

I put this little clip together to promo my Saturday outdoor gig. Feel free to use for your event.

I booked a room at the Super 8, so I guess that means I'm going.

Ooh we’re gonna be neighbors.

I’m a loser too. @terrabike01 booked an extra bed for me. This may actually do me good as I always sleep like shit before these. Just in time to have a shitty race anyhoo with some quad tendinitis setting in tonight.

 

[downbeat007]

See whoever is going tomorrow. I'll be on the purple Honzo Singlespeed.

@Dave Taylor Did they let you write this pre-event brief that just got emailed out?

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I was totally confused after reading that and had to read it 3 more times to get through it.

Looking forward to the race re-caps post mortems from all of you. Good luck to all.

 

[Mitch]

Good luck guys, be safe and have fun. Wish I could still do this event.

I heard Chris is gonna have an Ebike class so maybe next year ?

If I do 35mi on my bike, it's an epic. You guys rock. Looking forward to the recaps. This is like a bucket list thing for me, say , in a few years when the kids are older and life is not so busy.

Been on my bucket list since around 2008. Got close to registering 2 years ago, but I've been doing TSEpic instead, spreading a lot of the same trails over 5 days instead of all in 1 day.

Just sign up now for next year and commit! It’s a well run event obviously. I think a lot of people here 100 miles and think it’s death. While I’m sure at some point you will wish you were dead, those memories don’t last. One of the best bike races I’ve ever finished.

Tough day but somehow I managed a 3rd place finish in the SS Cat with an 8:57.

That's awesome! yesterday was tough. My 8:35 in ss last year was only good enough for 10th. The heat took down a lot of people. Job well done.

 

[downbeat007]

Thanks, brother. You and that shoulder ok?

 

[Dave Taylor]

Thanks, brother. You and that shoulder ok?

I’m alright. Broke my scapula. Find out tomorrow if I need surgery.

 

[downbeat007]

Sorry to hear. Hopefully not and it's just healing time. Speedy recovery!

 

[RobW]

In, camp, it’s what u do and then die in the river after the finish with a beer.

Basically you accomplished that feat! Almost ded!

 

[Dave Taylor]

Yup

Someone go check on @JimN
I’m sure he needs a beer.
