It's just been non stop epic for us at Bad Decision Bicyclist. 10 days and 850 miles around Lake Michigan by bike, killing it in the UP State Single Speed Championships, and an awesome gravel ride down to Eagle River, WI for a motorcycle rally. Surprisingly, we took very little shit for arriving in spandex trousers on bicycles. I did have a weekend "off" in there where I merely camped out up in Copper Harbor, did some mountain biking and helped out at a "trekkie convention" of endurance sports- a half iron man triathlon. I would have entered, but my mankini was at the cleaners.
I'd promise to get around to stories, but it doesn't seem like things are going to let up anytime soon. Next weekend is Fat Tire up in Copper Harbor, where I will once again be defending my title as the Western Central South of Houghton But Still North of M-38 UP State Touring/XC/Super-D Champion. Should be a good 3 day bikepacking trip with some racing and a lot of partying thrown in.
Then it's a couple of weekends spent doing rally layout stuff and thank whatever deity made LSPR a one day event this year, because after that- back to back gravel grinders. I've got the Gentlemen's Ride, immediately followed by The Heck Of The North. And then BAM!, we're in the midst of cyclocross season.
I doubt things will slow down much in November neither, because I've been down at the Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe waving around cash, trying to get myself on the list for Salsa's new Mukluk.
And if you think things are going to slow down at all this ski season.....
