2025 Monkey Knife Fight

Rode it last year - definitely one of the hardest rides I've ever done. Several of the climbs were much steeper than anything in CNJ area (wahoo showed 34% on Goat Hill but not sure how accurate that is). But they were definitely generous with the beer at the end, so that's a plus.

Enjoy it!
 
^ Brings the dumbest bike you could possibly bring to a 70 mile ride, then complains about it. Yep, that's Mitch.
Just for the record, the bike was fine just brought the wrong gear. Did HoH no problem on a harder gear. But went easier with 42 x17 was still way too hard. 42 x 19 would have been fine. I couldn't even walk up Goat Hill in the middle, Omg.

Plus a big warning, Do Not Eat the Donuts and Cookies at the Aid Station. I had never done that before but was delirious at the time and did, worst thing I ever did.
Good luck to you all and please send Dave my regards. Have fun and be safe.
 
I enjoyed the prior Monkey Knife Fights so much that I checked Bikereg to see what day it was. Luckily I have a race that day so decision made
My original plan was riding it on my road bike w/ 32s. May be upgrading!

We all used to do this shit on 23c road bikes. In fact I think I did it both on my road bike with 23c and cyclocross bike with 33c tires.

You were there with me at the start of our MKF but I don't remember seeing you at the finish? Did you do the 25 mile route?

I thought this sounded familiar and we did in fact do 55 not fun miles. HOH was better.

I always wanted to do this but the timinbearg never worked out. FWIW, HOH is not a very hard ride, it could be really tough but they go around most of the bigger climbs.
True on HoH. I only had to Paper Boy up 1 hill.
You didn't wait long enough asshole. You were probably home when I finished. 🙂

In all seriousness I remember very well you bitching going up a hill passing me to keep up your cadence with your SS.
Easy there tough guy, I think you left before me, hence I didn't see you.
