This is a photograph taken by Kyia Anderson of the leaders, early on, in the Almanzo 100 (Note: She is a great biker and humanitarian from St. Cloud thatz soon to be an awesome mommie as well)...We did the Royal 162 which was just a little bit muddier and a little longer...I don't think further commentary is necessary. Expect a fully embellished race report in a few dayz, once I get all the gravel dug out of my eye sockets....For now: DBD's own, Brave Buffington did NOT disappoint nor did Joe Meiser...Kudos to Ben Doom for aiding and abetting the author...and of course, Thank you Mr. Skogen and Team
Buff is not human. Dbd and meiser needs their own category just to be fair to us lesser individuals.
ReplyDeletedid you ride the out and back part?
ReplyDeleteI stopped at about mile 100. I think you and Ben (or Guy riding the SOMA Mtb) dropped me near mile 80. Things were bleak for me after that. Alas I'm but a lowly mortal unfit to ride with the harden bike gods of the north.
ReplyDeleteIt was a brutal day! I "only" did the 100, and it was a LONG day for me. I can't even imagine the extra pain you 162 guys went through!
ReplyDeleteGreat meeting you and riding with you on Saturday. Wasn't able to hang on to you and Ben and ended up in a bar to warm up for a bit. I emerged a new man and rode the final 60 miles solo. Looking forward to your race recap.
ReplyDeleteCharlie, thanks for the bite on the blog! So great to see your smiling face this weekend! Keep the wheels moving!
