Red Assiniboine 300

Sent my registration in yesterday for what promises to be a full-on epic race. Coined the Red Assiniboine 300 the event involves a big 300 mile circle around southern Manitoba on gravel and dirt roads with a little single track thrown in...It is going to be a real test. Also, to add to the plot, I do not want it to disrupt my regular racing schedule, which is already busy in June. I just could not resist the challenge, it looks to be such a Classic, plus I am completely serious about the Iditabike in the next three or four years, so I need to build my experience base with regard to these long distance events...
