Cup O' Dirt: Spooky Venteicher Update

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!

Spooky Venteicher Update

This is an amazing photo that will make for a great Halloween pic. As you can see, the Venteichers are not slowing down one bit!

Wow! September was awesome! I am so excited about more of this cool fall weather. Lee and I did a metric from Decorah to Spring Grove, MN, hitting such defunct towns as HIghlandville, Quandahl, and Bee, all near the IA/MN border. That route was hilly, but very pretty. My full for the month was from Iowa City to Manchester; my riding companion on that ride did not fare so well, tragically. (Should’ve hydrated better. ) So that puts Lee at 7 metrics, 4 full for the year, and Andrea at 9 and 9. 75% done! Hope everyone else is having as much fun as I am out there!
