Some things that are done so far


My ever messy workbench




1) Finally gotten my legs to where I wanted them to be.
2) Dinotte Lights are going to Iowa with me. (made in U.S.A.)
3) Epic Research feedbag for food, gu bottle and batterie pack (made in U.S.A.)
4) lower gearing 45x34x11x34 more spinning less Hulking.
5) Carbo Rocket individual packets. Less mess, less cramps, (Made in U.S.A.)
6) Ibex Knickers. Wool, fantastic Chamooah (Made in U.S.A.)
7) Noxzema, Vaseline, Bag Balm (Chamooah lubrication)
8) Look Quartz pedals, light, floaty and with lots of mud clearance. (Made in La France)
9) King Hubs, Headset, BottomBracket (Made in U.S.A.)
10) More Salty foods to keep cramps away.
11) Thinner layers to adjust body temps. No thick layers this year.
12) Schwalbe Marathon Extremes. Folding, grippy, No tools to mount, Puncture protection
13) Better tactics, better time management, less time off the bike.

These are things that I have been working on lately. Now we can start to taper off and try to losen out those knots. Make some maintenance on our tired ponies, get things dialed in and soon it will be all over.

best,
Ari

Light is right.
Less time off the bike.
Spin the hills.
Conserve energy on the descents.
Maintain electrolyte balance.
Stay hydrated.
Refuel frequently.
Avoid farm doggie and red wing blackbird attacks.
Enjoy the ride.

Did I forget anything?

See ya'll soon.

Holy Junk... I read on and there they are on you list. How are they rolling? Do they hold shape and stay hard on max psi?

Schwalbe Marathon Extremes ofcourse
