My First Ore To Shore Mountain Bike Race
The Ore to Shore Epic Mountain Bike Race has been on my race to-do list since getting back into biking a few years ago, but was kind of sitting on the back burner until now. I had rearranged my summer plans after injuring my ribs back in June and was no longer going to travel…

This was my first Mohican 100 mountain bike race and my second race in the NUE series. I was not targeting the NUE, but I am always looking for a good race and the opportunity came up for me to go out to the Mohican 100, so there I was… Pre Mohican 100 Race Getting…
Read MoreTrue Grit Epic Race Report, Video And Results
I arrived in St. George Utah on Friday afternoon with plenty of time to go for a ride and check out some of the course. I had never been to St. George before and heard that some of the True Grit Course was really technical and I wanted to see some of it before the…

The Fat Bike Birkie would be the end of my first season of fat bike racing before immediately jumping into my first 100 miler. The Fat Bike Birkie turned out to be a really great event and one that I hope I can make it to every year. Pre Fat Bike Birkie Race My buddy…
Read More2016 906 Polar Roll Fat Bike Race Report, Results And Video
Oh, where do I begin? The 2016 906 Polar Roll fat bike race was a knock down, all out brawl and slugfest of Fat Bikes, die hard bikers, mother nature and trail conditions. I was watching the weather reports come in a couple weeks before the race, that were reporting a warm up. When I…
Read More2016 Fat Bike Frozen Forty Race Report, Results & Video
The Fat Bike Frozen Forty was the first time I really contemplated pulling the plug mid race and reporting a DNF. But, I decided to hang in there and finish things up. I went down a couple times and a few other moments of bouncing my bars or shoulder off a tree that kept things…
Read More2016 Cuyuna Whiteout Fat Bike Race Report, Results And Video
I’ll start by saying that Cuyuna Whiteout was one of the most fun races I have done. I have built up an interest for endurance races recently, because I like point to point or single lap races. I get bored easily and like to keep things new and I just do not get too excited about…

I was excited for the Solstice Chase as it would be my first fat bike race. I swung by Cyclova in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin on Friday afternoon to pick up my race number and t-shirt. I had forgotten that t-shirts were included in the race fee, which was pretty impressive for a $35 race…

You couldn’t ask for better racing weather for the Chequamegon 40 in mid September. My Garmin showed that it was in the 50s for the entire race and then it warmed up real nice for the afternoon. It was about 20 degrees warmer at the start line than it was the year before and I was…
Read More2015 Minnesota State Championship Road Race Report
I looked around at the rest of the starting field to realize my hairy legs were sticking out like a Sasquatch in a nudist colony and asked the guy next to me if this was in fact the Cat 4/5 group and not the Cat 1/2/3 group. I had done some Crit racing and 2…
Read More2015 Maah Daah Hey 100 Race Report
I had heard that the Maah Daah Hey 100 was one tough race, but I was not prepared for what I had gotten myself into. A pre-ride of the opening parts of the trail a few days before the race was a big wake up call for what was ahead, but I still had no…
Read More2015 Lutsen 99er Race Report And Results
I’ll start off by saying that I kicked my last year’s ass and improved my Lutsen 99er race time by over 2 hours. That being said, I didn’t start the morning off great and didn’t really know how things were going to go until I was headed to the starting gate. So let’s get to…
