Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

It's not exactly gravel road dual sporting... but it's pretty cool.

Last Man Standing

Post by Harvey Mushman »

Chris, last year this race was aired on ESPN, it was insane. I understand this year the promoters have made it more difficult. My money is on David Knight. What kind of bike does he ride? He won it last year. Missed you on the FCT this year. RL said there were about 50+ riders.
Had a pretty good time.

Take care

I recorded and watched this last year---VERY fun to watch! No, I would not ride with those guys! Yes, I would attempt the track--but not in a competition---at my own speed taking my time in full gear and expecting to bail off many, many times. Plus, I'd really rather attempt it on a light, powerful 200 or something like that.

knight won on a 300 XC. I talked today to Leigh L at Letko who was in the event. he got 27 miles in 5 hours. The degree of difficulty was off the scale. Some of the best riders in the country were literally teaming up to pass bikes through the toughest parts like a bucket brigade.

Leigh said Knight is not human, he is some kind of robot. This from a rider that is heads and shoulder above most.

No I would not attempt to ride the course. And I am not shy about tackling most things on 2 wheels.
