Dirty Donut - Fat Bike Style

 

Fun day at the Dirty Donut Gravel Race in Martin, Michigan, I won the 42 mile fat bike. Mid 60's with sunshine. The wind was howling. I felt pretty darn good. 19.1 avg with 1,500 ft. of climbing. Nice to get in another race as my schedule is limited this year. Yeah!

Weekend Wrap Up

Busy few days. Time flies! I got out Friday night in Cow Country for a road ride. Another rest day Saturday. Storms rolled in Sunday, but I took a chance. I stole on in Liberty on the fatty. Fun solo 2 hour gravel ride with a few intervals. I pulled in the lot with the storm front ready to hit. I hit the TT bike later Sunday night after the rain. Good stuff!

Blue Streak TT

 Hot hot hot. Raced the fatty again at Blue Streak. It's a lot of work on the pavement. haha I started strongly through the first two gates then tailwind North. Last 3 miles was painful haha. Still faster than last month. Pleased with 20.4 avg. Mad Cow TT's are on the time trial bike. After decades of the same course, once a year on my tt bike at Blue Streak is enough. lol

Brookville Monday

Busy day. Of course the rain rolled in as I headed out to ride. LOL Just couldn't get to MoMBA in time. I stole one around the storm cells in Brookville. 20 miler spin on ,y 2010 rim brake 5.9 Madone. hehe My bikes are all old now. Well, besides my Emonda. I miss the days when you could keep up with the new gear, but inflation sucks. I'll just have to make do with my 9 bikes for decades until I can't ride anymore.

Weekend Wrap Up

Busy weekend. I was able to ride a bit, but sad to miss Strawberry Fest TT today. I had to pick up my Mom who was discharged from Rehab facility after her fall. A lot of my races have conflicts this year. Hoping Fall continues to look good. I got in some TT rides Friday & Saturday. I got out late afternoon today with Josh & Buz at JB. New berms & bridges by the trail crew are killer. Big props! Felt good to get in some single track. Rain is coming tho. Maybe I can steal a trip to MoMBA before the afternoon rain tomorrow. 

MCR TT # 5

 Awesome weather for Mad Cow TT # 5. 28.5 avg. Not bad for an old slow cow. hehe Sean was incredible again with 30.2 mph. Josh 27.5 avg with Buz 19.4 avg on the fatty. Great job Pete, Trevor, & Jordan.

MCR TT # 4

MCR TT # 4 in the books. Many were out of town tonight, but good to get a race in. Tom, Joshium, & Trevor killed it! I got held up turning on to SR 55 by a truck n trailer. My avg speed dropped .7 mph avg. 🤷‍♂️Eventually rode through the grass to get going again. Then a few miles later a lawn care truck n trailer missed me by a few inches. It was intentional. 🤬. I sat up for 10 seconds to regain my composure then powered to the finish. Still did a solid ride, but happy I didn’t get run over. Lol 28,4 avg Great job fellas. 

Venga!
