Over 60, alternate to post card registration

I believe we are over 60 postcards now.    And Jim is over 60, so nice work.   :-)

Fellow Dirty Lemming Jeff Mandel is doing a special ride across America this year for a good cause.  

Anyone that donates gets a postcardless  2019 (or 2020 if you have already registered) Dirty Lemming registration.   😊

Just email your info to us and let us know that you donated.

FROM JEFF:

Park Nicollet Foundation has a special program, “Growing through Grief" that provides in school counseling and support groups to students who have lost a loved one or a classmate.  It is currently in 73 school in 13 school districts with more than 500 students receiving counseling support every week.

Please check out my blog:  www.rideforgrowingthroughgrief.com  to learn more about the program and to follow me as I ride bike across America.  The blog is up and the ride starts April 28th.

Thanks,

Jim and Suzanne

Ever wonder why our volunteers keep coming back and are so enthusiastic?    Each has their own reason, for Mark it is Suzanne's 6AM breakfast Bloody Mary that lubricates his vocal cords for the anthem.

Preliminary Results Up

Results are up in the tab on the right.   A few people rode a little less than intended, a few people rode a little more than intended.   But everyone seemed to have a good time.

If we messed up a time or place, let me know.

Hope to get some pictures up soon...   

Another really nice day, will be tough to match the weather again, but we will try.

Thanks again to everyone that came out, it should be obvious that we really enjoy putting this event on each year.

Thanks to our neighbors who lend us lawn furniture and support the chaos that comes with starting a ride in a cul-de-sac.

Jim, Suzanne, Justine, Ed, Becky, Barb(Nicest Lemming), Mark, Marita, Ann and Cathy.

Final Routes

See the "Race Day Details" tab on the right for all the information you will need.

Below are ridewithgps.com courses for next Saturday, again, race day details on the tab on the right with GPX files, cue sheets, and other helpful info.    

The 100K course is the same as last year.

The 100 mile course was re-routed to go through the Biscay check point twice.  It got a bit more complicated around Biscay due to some construction and unintended pavement.  But the new quiet gravel roads down around Brownton make it a very nice ride. On a recon ride last Saturday we encountered 3 cars and 2 bars in the 38 mile Brownton loop.  We like that ratio.

Overall both courses are riding firmly with the exception of the 20 miles from Biscay to Winsted which has quite a few loose gravel sections that will be challenging.

The 10 miles of Luce Line trail from Winsted to Watertown that both courses finish on will be very fast.
