Iceman!

Well biking season is "winding down".  I don't like to admit it but it's true.  Leaves on the ground making it difficult to see the trail means the intensity has backed off, as of yesterday we were into daylight savings time - yep , getting dark by 5.15 :(
That being said, it has been a great fall for biking, warm temps, some dry days.  This past weekend I headed down to Traverse city, MI for my final race of the year "the Iceman Cometh Challenge"  Really really great race.  4700 entered makes it by far the largest mountain bike race in North America.  This might be the most fun I have had at an event all year. What a party!  I loved it.  If you are reading this, and have never taken part in this race, you should.  Not technical at all, mostly double track, I finished it in just over 2 hours, but the vibe - so go, the beer at the end, tailgate parties, music and jagerbombs!
