Lessons learned ...
1. Eat before and during the 100+ miles of singletrack. (I was so busy railing the singletrack that didn't eat or drink enough)
2. Pedalling in sand is just like climbing (you slow to a crawl and sometimes it just wrecks you)
3. There are good water sources out there and lot's of gas stations with food and drinks
4. You need a BRIGHT light for the Croom and Paisley singletrack at night (lots of sand !!!)
5. Aerobars are definitely a plus ... (I wished I had them many times)
6. Put your cellphone in "Airplane mode" (you'll eat up your batteries searching for signals)
7. Be careful "jumping" the sandy crossroads in the Paisley singletrack. ( My worst "endo" ever and cracked a rib 3 miles from finish)
8. The water at Buck Lake is tannish brown and tastes funny
9. Go right of the bathrooms at Buck Lake and past the "boundary" signs to find the "rideable" singletrack
10. Jeff Tomassetti counted more than 170 downed trees (I lost count) on the singletrack prior to Buck Lake (all required dismount and I had to crawl under one of them)
Almost 19 hours on the bike and I HAD A BLAST !!!
I'm already looking forward to HuRriCan 300 in March !!!

You forgot lesson 11: Chasing an Indian aint easy. LOL BTW: The Huracan will pass through Buck Lake, I will have an updated gpx line and a map as well to help. |

My hardest part was boredom. I had some cramping 80-120 that went away once I up'ed my Gatorade and food intake. I had a sore butt at 60+, but it never got overly sore. I was just bored. I will have tunes for the Huracan fo sho.

Has anyone completed it on a SS?
If so anyone know what gearing, assume pretty stout given lack of climbing?
Karlos, what did you run when you attempted on a fixie?

I would say 32/16 or 17. Suck it up on the singletrack but really appreciate it on the road and 2track.

I have done this route racing twice on a single speed fixie 29er 32 x 17. This was my first year doing it on gears.. |
