I'll will be back for years to come. i loved the format. i would leave it just like it is. my only complaint was the lack of markings coming back out of the woods and into the finish. i am directionally challenged. they may have been there but lack of oxygen made them invisible. distance was fine. to do a shorter nonrace loop detracts from being able to say “i finished the gravel grovel”. the amount of trails was just about perfect. the guys on cross bikes were slower through there, and equalized things a little bit. loved the ride.

Why didn't someone tell me? I recommend shortcuts be clearly marked next year so I can follow them if I choose to!! :) Thanks to the organizers and volunteers - this was a solid event - a great motivator to keep the training going late season.

I felt more exhausted at the end of this than I did after 75 miles of the Brown County Breakdown. Some sort of plate checkmarking at random points is probably the cheapest solution to making sure results are recorded properly...can't let those course cutters have finishing glory...:-) This was a great ride…lot more difficult than I thought it would be.

I was dead tired by the end. Toughest 62miles I've ever done. Can't wait to do it again next year. Thank-you to the ride leaders and volunteers for putting on a great ride. Great Ride!!

I think that those that did not complete the entire course may not even be thinking of the tabulation of the results and may not come back to this site.

Great job Mike, and I'm looking forward to next year! Any way to make it harder? How about a century option? :) Didn’t mean to sound too negative, because my overall experience was very positive.
