brian: your level of bad-ass-ness has just officially doubled in my book- thanks for the RR and pics.

JoeTruth · 06-16-2008, 08:01 AM

I honestly can't comprehend. That's just insane! Well done, dude!

DeeZee · 06-16-2008, 08:26 AM

No 50 or more self promotion posts before the event…..or going into detail about what flavor of jelly you should use on your PB&J sandwich.

What makes a race post like this great is.....

Not to long….not to short
Described the event
Nice Pictures
Humility of the racer.

The scary thing....... did he even train for this event.

Genetic freek!

Brian, fill us in on how that tubeless Bonty failed. Big big hole?

Mondo · 06-16-2008, 10:39 AM

You are the man, Brian! Kick a$$ job, El Dudarino!

I was running the Jones XR with a turbo tube......pinchflat on a fast, rocky downhill.

I suppose I should have stuck with the heavier tubeless wheels:-)

Blair, you're a freak'n MONSTER!

HUGE respect from me to you two!

Forget RR of the week, you have my vote for rider of the year.

The final ride stats are mind blowing and could have easily been broken down into a 2-3 day stage race.

Huge respect for you!

OMR · 06-17-2008, 12:46 PM

Brian, you'll never get old doing stuff this this ... say, didn't you use to be taller??

Props to Calvin... I'm surprised he's even riding... let alone a hundred miler!

Nice RR... thanks for sharing this one with the tribe.

jasonmason · 06-17-2008, 01:19 PM

that's pretty bad ass brain - nice job.
Thanks for taking the time to stop and snap some pics for those of us that don't put in 100+ mile days on a regular basis! If you're going to do a race like that, might as well be scenic, right?

tkblazer · 06-17-2008, 01:21 PM

great RR Brian, kept it simple and to the point with some cool pictures... no idea if i would ever have the balls to even try anything like that.. kudos to you, i think behind

you could be the most interesting man in the world

lukewiens · 06-17-2008, 02:19 PM

right on brian!!

just curious...what were the temps like during the day? also, what did you do for hydration, ie. pack it, filter??

if there are no schedule conflicts next year, maybe you can talk me into to this! however, i am sure i will spend the entire day a bit lonely.

Blue Rat · 06-17-2008, 02:37 PM

Thanks for sharing ... awesome accomplishment!

Put it on your calendar.....you should definitely do it!

As for hydration.....I started with 220oz and refilled at the country store at mile 80. I had roughly 180oz in a Wingnut Hyper 3.0 pack and then 2 24oz bottles on the bike.

BrewMaster · 06-17-2008, 03:20 PM

440 oz over 130 miles? You're some kind of manimal.

queenwilhelmina · 06-17-2008, 03:26 PM

That is very awesome Brian, and quite admirable. Did you ride from your house to the trailhead too?

JoeTruth · 06-17-2008, 03:32 PM

Donkey, is your name "Brian" or "Brain"? I've seen a few people on this thread refer to you as "Brain" and I'm not sure if that's some nick-name you have for having a high IQ and hence, a reputation for being intelligent aka a brain. Just curious!

Edit: ok, maybe it was a typo people fixed. I noticed most are gone now and say "Brian". Never mind!
