    Kingdom Trails + NEMBAfest = Awesome!!

    Sounds like a good weekend to hit Waterbury and Barre and avoid KT to me..... Good event for both people that don't ride KT every year though :thumb:

    2008 24 Hours of Great Glen

    I used Heed and Endurolytes. I cramped hard on Lap 2, which was strange but recovered by taking 3 Endurolytes and 2 Sportlegs per hour from then on out whether I was riding or not and I always drink Nuun on the bike. I had a bottle of Heed when I would come in, along with a mini V8 and some...

    2008 24 Hours of Great Glen

    Kevin...it was great to see you at the race. Nancy and I had a blast as a 2 person Co-ed and didn't finish last !!!!! We scratched and clawed out way to 5 laps each in that crap. I will post a larger write up later. Damn it was fun though, a very well run event. Steve

    Killington

    Douglas, great job in what sounds like some tough sledding. SS Rigid, gusty, more gusty than I am. I am ready to puke this upcoming weekend at 24 of GG, should be a hoot. Based on our earlier conversations etc. about the timing of the race and scheduling conflicts, I’m not surprised they...

    Kingdom Trails Last Weekend Photos and Summary (very long)

    We may sound more ambitious but it doesn’t mean we will pull it off. I figure if we shoot for 16 and end up with 12 or 14 then “whatever”, but if I shoot for 14 mentally I may shut down just short of that in a “awe heck we’re close enough to our goal” mentality. Either way the goal is to...

    Kingdom Trails Last Weekend Photos and Summary (very long)

    It was nice to meet you all. I know Nancy was supposed to go riding with Beth on Wednesday but Beth was unable to make it so Nancy went riding with another dude from work. It is so weird that Beth works the same place as Nancy (and I used to work there as well). Ah yes Great Glen…….that...

We enjoyed 3 days worth of KT riding and on e day of NH pre ride for the Great Glenn race, good times.....KT does spoil you though...

    A pre 4th ride ,on the 3rd.

    Was the camera drinking during the ride? Pics were cool, too bad they came out a little fuzzy………originally I thought I was just pickled when I saw them, as I was pickled. However, upon further sobering, they still look pickled…… It was a cool ride, that is a...

    Killington

    Douglas – Your point/concern about people signing up goes back to my post a few weeks ago on another thread about how Killington is 2 weeks before Great Glen etc. Great Glen has 292 riders as of today and it is 2 months away (give or take a few days), I would have to think these races are...

    24 Hrs of Pats Peak.

    Splat - the real question is did you ride the "teeter totter of death" or the "ramp of doom"? I did each once because I needed to hear a cheer...... Steve

    24 Hrs of Pats Peak.

    Thanks Splat I couldn’t find the “edit” feature. 160 miles total and at the awards ceremony the dude just walked up like he wasn’t even tired. I just shook my head. The team next to us with Angela and Matt (great people by the way) also rode in the 24 2 Person co-ed and posted 29...

    24 Hrs of Pats Peak.

    We are home and for the most part alive. I can say that we thoroughly enjoyed our first experience in endurance MTB racing, however it is a world you have to experience to really understand. Our original goal was to enter the 24 Hours of Great Glenn in August; however we also noticed that...

    2008 Pats Peak date announced!

    We survived as well. First ever MTB race, first ever attempt at anything like this and man was it fun and painful. Freakin' addictive..... Met Splat exactly where I said I would......hammered laying on the ground at the top of a huge climb...... While Nancy and I didn't produce huge...

    2008 Pats Peak date announced!

    Splat.......if we could go 3 person, we would. Heck go 24......you're gonna hurt either way.....at least with 24 you can justify the snooze in the middle of the ride........then get up and meet me at the top of the mountain for sunrise/cloud-rise, if I make it. At least it won't be 100...

    2008 Pats Peak date announced!

    Thanks for the well wishes.....we may need it :brow: We are having a complete attitude swap, she is worrying and I'm Mr. Positive, what gives. Honestly our goal is something north of 15 or 16 laps and no friggin' DNFs I figure we normally do 20-25 mile rides on the weekends in about...

    2008 Pats Peak date announced!

    Pre-Rode the course on Saturday with the wife or should I say what we could find of the course. We wound up riding up a portion of the downhill course. Ever do that? I wouldn't, highly unadvisable and highly damaging to your confidence level in your riding abilities..... We're looking...

    2008 Churn and Burn News to Share!!

    Douglas – thanks for the help, I know you also answered some questions for me a few months back on the “other” board. I checked some of the contact sites and it looks like some of the events/dates you have still need to be posted by the organizers etc. I was thinking...
