What a great night for a Team Ride! We had over 25 along for the A and B ride. The A Group was a well oiled machine rolling double paceline for 47 miles finishing at over 21 mph avg. But the real treat of the [...]
From their website: Lumberjack is a traditional style American Pale Ale brewed with 100% malted barley. Lumberjack is full bodied with a perfect citrus hop aroma and smooth hop flavor. Although brewed with plenty of hops, Lumberjack also has plenty of malt character. This traditional style ale is crisp and refreshing presenting a smooth and [...]
Experts rode four laps of eleven miles and the course reportedly had 1800 feet of climbing per lap. Brent Walk, promoter of FunPromotions, put together an interesting course. All of the course was on trails we’ve ridden before, but Brent linked and looped sections together to create an inventive and interesting course that in some [...]
I don’t know what I was thinking, volunteering to help promote the State Games of Michigan Mountain Bike Race and also signing up to race just 7 days after putting on one of my largest and most draining bike races, the Lumberjack 100. No backing out now I kept thinking, just delegate various jobs to [...]
For the past two years, I’ve been on the sidelines of the annual Lumberjack 100 – volunteering where I was needed, cheering on friends and strangers, and supporting my husband as he completed his first-ever century in over 20 years of competitive cycling. I was inspired by what I saw as an ‘outsider’ and wondered [...]
Anyone ever have this one (see attached picture)? HIGHLY recommend this one! The label says “blond ale”, but I’d call it more of a hoppy Belgian trippel. Brewed in the Netherlands but notes that it is “Brewed for The Leyerth, Ruiselede, Flanders, Belguim”. 9.5% ale, top fermented and bottle conditioned the way it naturally should be. [...]
The Cannonsburg 8 hour challenge was a hot one! I could only rock 3 hours of the 8 hour race because my niece had her high school graduation open house that I couldn’t miss. Jeff Jacobi and I were the only ones flying the Founders colors that day. I know a lot of our team had [...]
Mohican 100- yes I keep calling it MUDhican- which is exactly what it was…….
Teammate Martin had sent me a great glowing description of the Mohican trails. I didn’t see THOSE trails, but I saw glimpses of what could be potential of those trails.
I got to Loudonville Ohio Friday evening and got my race packet. I’d [...]
This weekend I attended the Bloomer Park XC race on the east side of our lovely state. The park lies in the heart of Rochester Hills and is a great place to ride a bike. The park holds our only velodrome in the state and has some of the most technical trails I have ridden.
The [...]
The Western Chapter of the MMBA held a membership drive this past weekend where members raced for free. The chapter ran the race with volunteer help (including Founders/Alger racers, Rick Plite, Martin Hall, Dennis Murphy) and attracted 13 new members. The time trial race criss crossed 13 miles of Barry County dirt roads and two tracks [...]
