ICEMAN 2009


On Saturday, five Dirt Dads joined some 4500 (!) bikers for the 20th annual Iceman Cometh Challange mountain bike race from Kalkaska to Traverse City. The weather was amazing, almost in the 60s with partly sunny skies. Here's the Dirt Dads results:

Marc 2:13:11

Brian 2:17:03

Tim 2:19:02

Bob 2:21:08

JP 2:52:53

If I (HP) am not mistaken, all above improved their times from last year with the exception of Bob who was quite sick for this year's race. JP had to take time to repair a broken chain. Great times considering the course was longer than past years at about 28.5 miles. Thanks to Brian & Joni for sharing the motor home, campsite, and food at the finish line. Laura and Harv were also there to cheer on the guys.
