DK200

Give me a couple days and I have videos and many photos of dk200, but for now :

DQ'd at check point 3 (missed the 1030 cutoff)
158 miles of kansas gravel/mud
3.5 mile walk of a B road (2 hours) (nail in the coffin)
0 flats (thanks stans no-tubes)
Love my Ergon grips
And Brooks saddle
No mechanicals!

Day 13

Packed, Ready

Day 12

I'm not Afraid.... I'm bringing the Awesome Button!

And with that being said here is my fear list for a 200 mile event......

2. not finishing
3. hydration
4. food / bonking too early

and the biggest thing for me in any long highway event is....1. getting off course!  Not a big deal in the whole scheme of things but it really pisses me off!  So with months of endurance training and 2 weeks of detox me and my Mountain bike will be finishing dk200 on Saturday (or sunday) because I'm leaving my excuses in Des Moines and taking the Awesome Button instead, distance is all in my head.

My superpower is Sarcasm

I still haven't found the text message symbol for Sarcasm however I'm thinking:

\S/

Still testing though....
