A Cupple More

I know I'll run out of ways to insert "cup" cleverly (or not) into the titles of these posts, but I buy that kinda stuff in bulk. Anyway, Courtney Hilton has this to say:
"Got the second metric in January 31.  Dave Cornelison (who might do cup-o-dirt now) joined me for 81 miles and 3k of climbing southern gravel  roads."
Here's the accompanying photo.


And I have my first full century to report. I finished the Arrowhead 135 on the single-speed Pugsley. It was a balmy -30 degrees F at night on the 31st, and even colder the second night, though I had finished by then. Total time was 35 hours and 35 minutes, though I had a rather cold bivy during the night, due to stupidity on my part. Sometimes, you can be too warm at -30F, and sweat through your clothes and sleeping bag while conked out. Take heed, folks. Here's a photo I snapped about 20 miles into the race.


That's all. Get out there and ride! Don't forget about CIRREM on the 26th of February. It's always some slushy goodness.

  2. Thanks, Dave. Get out there! I expect 200 metrics from you this year, and no excuses.
