last night i raced in the inaugural night nonsense 100 (93.7 actually) we started in the rain and hammered out 93.7 miles of gravel, mud, and the occasional paved section. my light died three miles into the race. i pushed on, found some riders to stick with. fought through back and stomach pain. took second place, just seconds behind Robert fry. i had a great time. it is on the calendar for next year.
drew very generously let me borrow his mamasita with cross tires. the bike performed impeccably, and now i have the 29er itch. two really good recaps of the event can be found at
Ride On Purpose
and
Guitar Ted
i dont know what it is, but there is something overly satisfying about gravel.
