And my wife has decided that we need to go camping this weekend, so I'm refreezing the cooler, doing laundry and heading out early tomorrow AM to try to grab a site at my happy place on Cliff/Wade lakes
I am missing a sock. Did you eat it?
Sitting in a car is never better than sitting on the saddle. I believe I need to look for another Western Epic next summer but not in the usual places.
LOL! I think we are camping again this weekend too! Enjoy
That would be a negative, sir.
@Montana rider and I found the trailer lock, sans cylinder, on the side of the road midway between our camp and the shop. We left the lock on her back doorstep Tuesday morning. He might be able to be more precise about the location.
Burn them. DO NOT breathe in the fumes.
Maah Dah Hey? More like Cow Dah Pie, amiright?
Cow pie are just like mud - with a bit of "game flavor".
That article is seriously bad, written by non-mountain bikers.
Replete with bad advice, but they risked it and they finished the sections they essayed, they might just catch the endurance bug.Cow pie are just like mud - with a bit of "game flavor".
IMO: no.
Abso-fucking-lutely. I don't think they rode that much - they acknowledged to have bailed some sections and rode gravel roads instead. Also, you can connect several different camp sites, we rode the longest route from CCC to Magpie camp (~40 miles day 1), to Elkhorn camp (~20 miles day 2), to Medora (~50 miles day 3). They did not ride the by far the best and most challenging piece of the trail from CCC, and in general, the article is meh.
Ha! I guess being from the general area makes the bar a bit higher.
I liked the remoteness and wilderness (sans the omnipresent oil wells) a lot and would do it again.
It really depends on how you get your rocks off. If you like to challenge your capacity for endurance and wish to experience some really unique terrain, it's worth it.
A Montana epic is right for you... I did not mind the MDH in general but found the trail to be long periods of boring peppered with a few miles of fun. The draw to the trail is the endurance aspect and scenery not the actual trail. I can see runners loving it and bikers being somewhat bored with grasslands.Ha! I guess being from the general area makes the bar a bit higher.
Lisa bugging me do do the race is what got me interested in the trail. Having ridden the trail, there's no way I'd enter the 100.For endurance I'd looked at doing the MDH100 a few years ago

I have a BZN friend who did the 100 and 150 this year too as he does every year.
The last mile of the trail along the river in Medora lead through deep unrideabru sand. Perhaps they route the race around that terrible spot?
And according locals who have done the 150 (and those who have done just the last 50) we missed the best riding (i.e. the newest 50 miles were built with singletrack in mind...)Worst part of the ride, by several orders of magnitude.
We do need another western epic. Actually....we are planning a trip that way to see the Grand Canyon next summer so maybe we can meet up and mountain bike with you all again! We will have the doggo and the kids (with our camper) too!
Alcohol kills germs and we REALLY made sure we had plentyI don't believe any of us have contracted COVID. Coincidence?
Definitely!Worst part of the ride, by several orders of magnitude.
