Rider Updates

Ben S. Writes in from Manhattan, Ks… “This Sunday was an invigorating ride that turned out to be more of an adventure than anticipated. It started out as a nice sized group ride including Austin, Dan, Daren, Dave, Scott, Jamie and myself. With a daunting 20mph NW wind facing us, I mapped out an approximately […]

Kevin C. Rolls out another full century! “Century #2 (‘Murican distance) last Sunday, finally getting around to writing it up.  Decided to lay out a gravel route to Atlanta, KS based on a 5 year old story about a restaurant that may or may not still exist and may or may not take cards. Typically […]

Ryan H. ticks up metric #2… “I had a very enjoyable 71 mile ride this past weekend.  Unlike a week ago, the wind was very tame.  It started from the southwest at 9 mph and the temp was in the low thirties.  Balmy!!  Kent, a friend from the riding group I participate in, wanted to tag along to get […]

Josiah writes in with his first metric… “I knew I wanted to get one in the cup right away, and I had already mapped out a course to visit some landmarks, just about the perfect distance, on roads mostly new to me. There is a monument marking the passing of Zebulon Pike’s expedition that I’d […]

Josh M. writes in… “Hopefully my first of 18 entries. I’m going for 12 metrics and 6, 100 milers. Had some nice upper 40 degree weather, here in Ames, Iowa. Conditions were perfect in most areas, but sloppy in others. I under estimated the difficulty of the conditions, so my ride took longer than I […]

“Hi. I am submitting a 70 mile ride to qualify for a metric century.   I’m registered for Actif Epica up by Winnipeg, Manitoba on February 13th and was doing a longer training ride this past Saturday.  The temp was pretty warm for Fargo this time of year, around 20 deg F, but the wind was howling from […]

“First dirt century of the year & first in several years. Went for broke on a route I used to ride all the time, from Wichita to Cassoday & back.  Single speed of course… because why not. Roads were mostly rideable, with only a mile or so of hike a bike on a few MMR’s. […]

Eric J gets a the jump on 2016 with his first metric! “First one is in the books.  Found some mud on a couple serious B roads early on.  A little hike-a-bike was involved….   Didn’t have a route planned out just wanted to make it happen.  The breeze was supposed to turn later in the […]
