  3. I was stung 2x as was (inside my shirt). If you are peeing clear every hour you are drinking enough. I downed 3 liters ~ every 120 minutes, 1 gel, 2 bananas and some gator aide. Before the last lap I had some yummy pasta. I should have had and extra 500 ml before lap 3 (which was the hottest).

    75 “off road” miles is an insane distance! The 8-hour at Birch in the fall is going to be very very hard. But after the TransRockies everything will seem like a peace of cake.

  6. well done everyone. wish i could have been there - went to tyndall in case anyone showed up for reach the beach to offer apologies, some bike gear, and some gas money for their inconvenience. nice to see that so many did so well. its a tough ride because once you are committed to a lap there is little room to bail.

  7. The next race is July 2oth Pinawa which should be interesting. Has anyone ridden there before? What is it like? Then the MB TT at Bur Oak on the 3rd of August and the last MB Cup race August 13th is back at GB. Next is MB Provincials at Birch on the 24th and I hope we really have a good showing for that one. I also hope everyone has been putting on their running shoes over the summer for the Duathlon September 10th and the beginning of the Cross season. Finally the 8-Hours of Pain at Birch was kindly moved to the 21st so those who love to suffer could try their hand at XC8. There are rumors of yet another 8-hour in Howard’s Ville the last weekend of September. Hopefully, everyone will be clearing their schedule and taking time off work to go to cross Nationals.

    September 6th XC8
    September 14th Cross #1 and the Bow 80 in Alberta
    September 21st 8-Hour of Pain at Birch
    September 27th Buffalo Pound 60k
    September 28th Cross #2

    Oct 11th Cross Nationals!!!
