*** Look here for specific details on this week‘s Hustle. *** Come join our highly-social, evening, trail ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015, always rolling at the speed-of-fun. :-) We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter - as long as riders prescribe to safe practices such as: communicating about obstacles and maintaining gaps that are appropriate for the speed, terrain and weather conditions. Your bike must have headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning, overly-bright and strobing lights since we ride trails as a pack and are usually separated from car and truck traffic. We try to courteously douse headlights when passing pedestrians and fellow riders as we ride into growing darkness. History has shown that this ride can be done with most any kind of bike, but sometimes conditions can make it tough for narrower tires. You be the judge. No rider will ever be left behind. We have several bona fide EBC Ride Leaders attending this ride for extra safety. ...But you must make sure that your bike is ready and you are in athletic condition for this distance and pace. Note that 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road; ...and riding a heavy, fat or mountain bike requires yet additional effort. Our routes vary from one week to the next. Look for route information on our e-mail list server each week before the ride. Let‘s rock!

Elkader City Park 501 High St SE Elkader, IA 52043

More Info
Less Info
A challenging gravel event in Elkader, Iowa with 2 distance options, 45 and 100 miles. 90-95% of each course is gravel with a few miles of level B, blacktop and bike trail included. There are hills in this area of the state, some rollers but a lot of steep semi-short climbs. The estimated average for climbing is 100 feet per mile. Gear Recommendations ? Recommended tire size is obviously different depending on rider experience but 32MM width or larger is best. There are little to no MMR roads on the course so you do not need to plan on miles of mud. Gearing is usually the biggest issue riders run into given the steepness of the climbs so bring a wide gearing range if you don‘t plan on making it a duathlon. The race ends on a 1/2 mile gavel track (Cayton County Velodrome) where racers will do one full lap where they cross the finish line the final time. All Race Distances do a lap at the end of the race. Register here: https://www.driftlessgravel.com https://www.driftlessgravel.com/the-race Proceeds are donated to the local EMS crew in Clayton County, Iowa.

*** Look here for specific details on this week‘s Hustle. *** Come join our highly-social, evening, trail ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015, always rolling at the speed-of-fun. :-) We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter - as long as riders prescribe to safe practices such as: communicating about obstacles and maintaining gaps that are appropriate for the speed, terrain and weather conditions. Your bike must have headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning, overly-bright and strobing lights since we ride trails as a pack and are usually separated from car and truck traffic. We try to courteously douse headlights when passing pedestrians and fellow riders as we ride into growing darkness. History has shown that this ride can be done with most any kind of bike, but sometimes conditions can make it tough for narrower tires. You be the judge. No rider will ever be left behind. We have several bona fide EBC Ride Leaders attending this ride for extra safety. ...But you must make sure that your bike is ready and you are in athletic condition for this distance and pace. Note that 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road; ...and riding a heavy, fat or mountain bike requires yet additional effort. Our routes vary from one week to the next. Look for route information on our e-mail list server each week before the ride. Let‘s rock!

Horribly Hilly Hundreds! From the event website:
"Three routes, two county tours, one result: a painfully fun, must-do biking experience destined to find its way onto your June calendar for years to come.


2025 marks the 22nd Horribly Hilly Hundreds. Commonly referred to as the "Suffer fest of the Year" and "The Toughest One-Day Challenge Ride in the Midwest" is not to be missed by serious riders anywhere.


Since 2003, Horribly Hilly participants have enjoyed a day of riding that results in an awe-inspiring accumulation of 10,000 feet of elevation gain in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. Growing in popularity each year, although not a lotter anymore the Horribly Hilly registration has reached capacity each year months prior to the event. A second and third route option beyond the original course were added in 2005 and 2011. How hard do you want to push it? Choose between the 100K, 150K, and 200K routes. The day is capped with a meal featuring quality local food and beer.


Approximately 1,200 riders test their mettle on southwestern Wisconsin‘s scenic byways each year in the Horribly Hilly. Join the ranks of an inspired community of riders for the premier cycling event in the Badger State and beyond."

I will be doing the 200k option and hope to hold 13mph rolling average, starting at the mass start at 6:45am or close to said time.
If you are participating in this event but dont see me at the ride start, you can email me at ctmay@protonmail.com with your route completion proof.
You must sign up for this ride! You can do so at: https://www.bikesignup.com/Race/WI/BlueMounds/HorribleHillyHundreds

*** Look here for specific details on this week‘s Hustle. *** Come join our highly-social, evening, trail ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015, always rolling at the speed-of-fun. :-) We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter - as long as riders prescribe to safe practices such as: communicating about obstacles and maintaining gaps that are appropriate for the speed, terrain and weather conditions. Your bike must have headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning, overly-bright and strobing lights since we ride trails as a pack and are usually separated from car and truck traffic. We try to courteously douse headlights when passing pedestrians and fellow riders as we ride into growing darkness. History has shown that this ride can be done with most any kind of bike, but sometimes conditions can make it tough for narrower tires. You be the judge. No rider will ever be left behind. We have several bona fide EBC Ride Leaders attending this ride for extra safety. ...But you must make sure that your bike is ready and you are in athletic condition for this distance and pace. Note that 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road; ...and riding a heavy, fat or mountain bike requires yet additional effort. Our routes vary from one week to the next. Look for route information on our e-mail list server each week before the ride. Let‘s rock!
