Gotta love Buck Hill...

There is nothing like a mid week kick to the shin of the Buck Hill races...

The most difficult part is shedding the work day allowing freedom to burn yourself up.

The pic wasn't last night... But 10 years ago. These guys still give it.

Circa 2006, dueling with Barry and Sandberg

Thanks again to Penn Cycle for keeping these races alive and kicking...

CHEQ100

The term 'epic' is thrown around loosely these days, but what defines it? In my mind it at least has to encompass the following; 1- has the potential that you might not return (ever), 2- point to point, 3- time in the saddle that makes you question your sanity, 4- trails that require worthy MTB skills/ singletrack, 5- doesn't involve a bus ride back to the start.

The Chequamegon 100 put on by Advocate Cycles/ Green Tunnel/ The Krueger's is the crème de la crème of point to point 'epic' MTB races in MN/ WI.  RESULTS LINK

I failed at attempt for Top 10, but was pleased that I saw the Wizard in Ojibwe.

'Thanks' goes to the folks that are CAMBA. The trail additions in the last 10 years are nothing short of fantastic.

It was obvious Mr Pramann witnessed the Wizard in Ojibwe too....
