12 hrs of single track!


The team was back in action again this weekend with the latest stop in the Michigan Endurance Series at the 12 hours of Ithaca.

Continuing with the winning ways, MTB-Life won the 12 hr open class setting a new COURSE RECORD with 33 laps, which added to about 170 miles of single track fun (well at least for some people). It was a great race with all of us finding our form and riding consistent laps (within a minute of each other) for the entire 12 hrs.


There was a news reporter there doing a story about the event and they said just 2 miles down the road it had been raining extremely hard. Fortunately the rain held off missed us completely and we were able to make great lap times throughout the day.

During the night laps we all encountered some type of wildlife...raccoons, possums, skunks. But not as bad as one guy who during his night lap actually ran into a deer! Both rider and deer were fine.

Our next race takes us to the 24 Hour Nationals in Wisconsin on August 2nd. This will definitely be a true test of our speed, endurance and our willingness to not go crazy! I'm tired just writing about it. Need to sleep now.
This is Justins dog, Endura....what a loveable dog!
