The weather has gotten warmer and the miles are starting to rack up a bit more quickly.
DavieG has cranked out two metrics in the last 5 days. On the 13th he ventured out on studded tires for 8 hours on a mix of sand, soggy gravel and dirt. St Patrick's day meant there was time for another McRide on the Heritage Trail and some gravel roads. Click on Dave's name for details on both of his rides.
Courtney Hilton also managed to get out on the 17th for some gravel on the rural roads of Polk and Madison counties. The lure of beer and wet road conditions forced him to cut his planned full century down to a metric. He's still in the one a month club.
Your's truly headed north to Decorah for Ben Shockey's STD. A planned 200 miles over 3 days turned into 120 due to some back issues. I still managed to survive the Friday ride to Harmony, MN and back for another metric, adding another punch to my one-a-month-club card.
Keep sending your rides in, and we'll keep posting them. :)
Cup O' Dirt
What is The Cup O' Dirt?
Take the year long challenge of completing a dozen or half a dozen dirty centuries or a dozen metric centuries and join the fun! Everybody who completes this challenge will be rewarded with a custom hand-made stoneware mug as well as be in a drawing for other prizes.
To join the fun, send an email outlining your ride, which must be 80% on dirt of some kind (or snow), to Nick at iowacupodirt@gmail.com and you're in the chase.
The chase is per calendar year - and your ride can be a race or ride, your own or organized. It just has to be 100 miles or 100 kilometers. Cups are awarded for three different categories: those who complete 6 full, 12 full, or 12 metrics within the calendar year. You can earn multiple cups if, for example, you do 12 distinct full and 12 metrics in the same year.
Send us an email and join the chase!
