Cold Fat Tires

Looking at the forecast for the Chequamegon this weekend in Hayward. With a morning start at 10:00 it is going to be a cold one. The cyclocross guys will love it. I'm loaning my dirtbike to Mike Hall for the weekend so he can feed Jeff, and Tom Gaier will be tagging along on his dirtbike as well. Tom is opening up his house to Sam and I which will work out splendid. Thanks Tom. I might arrive in time to go on a ride with Jesrin. I missed out on this race last year so I'm excited to be back. For those that don't know the Chequamegon is the largest single day mass start mountain biike race in North America. 1,500+ riders start all at once in the streets of Hayward,WI and follow parts of the Birkiebiner ski trail, 4wheeler trails, dirt roads, and logging roads to make their way to the Telemark Resort in Cable 40 miles away. The race has seen many big names over the years with top national riders coming from all over the country. Back in the day Greg Lemond even won it a couple times. Greg will be returning this year to ride it for the 25th anniversary. Who knows who else will be there. Travis Brown has been there for the last 2 years. With a prize purse of $1,500 everyone will be bringing their A game. Good luck to all racing and I'll see you up there.
