Arctic Cross #7 - 8th October 2016 - Jodhpur with the dune

Saturday the 8th October was the final race of the 2016 Arctic Cross season. This year we revisited Kincaid for the Jodhpur race. The team had 14 people out racing plus Bruce doing his race director thing and Kelsey out cheering on the racers. Great turnout teammates.

The weather has finally started cooling off at least overnight here in Anchorage and we were treated to another blue sky day race. For the beginner men the race started with the temperatures hovering around 30F, this was good for the course as it meant lots of frozen mud however it was chilly during the warm up. As the day warmed up the course became a little slower as the mud defrosted. The course is a mixture of ski trails, sandy singletrack and a little bit of a sand dune.  The usual cross course features of  barriers were out as well as the mini barriers.

We also had some natural barriers to deal with.

For a lot of people on the team the series points were already sorted out going into this round however the racing was just as fast and furious as it has been all season.

A huge thanks to our sponsor Steamdot Coffee who provided us with some coffee to share with our fellow racers and team mates.

Arctic Cross # 6 - 1st October 2016 - Kulis Air Park the race with mini barriers

Saturday was round 6 of the Arctic Cross series.  The course was a great cross course with a mixture of pavement, gravel, mud, and grass. One new feature on the course was as set of four mini barriers which with enough speed were rideable.

There was also a runup/ride up depending on how tired your legs were. For me it was a run up every time.

Arctic Cross #1 - 10th September 2016 - Kincaid stadium

With a blue sky day we couldn't have asked for nicer conditions for the 2016 season opener for Arctic Cross. Yes we all love a bit of mud and rain but it was nice not to have to replace a drive train and brakes following one race. The course was based out of the stadium at Kincaid and had some fast sections, steep hills, long gradual hills and a couple of barriers including a tricky barrier section and remount on a side slope.
Revolution had 10 team members out racing and number of team mates/family members out supporting.

Arctic MTB #6 - 16th August 2016 - The series final

Tuesday the 16th August 2016  marked the final round of the Arctic MTB Kincaid Race Series for 2016.  The six race series always passes so quickly but this year, once again the series has been a blast to compete in with a great variety of courses and weather.  

From the team point of view we've had great participation in the events both racing and assisting with course setup and teardown.

Thanks again to Arctic MTB for putting together a great series, see you all at the Trifecta then following on from that #Crossiscoming with Arctic cross

Alaska Endurance Association Soggy Bottom - 6th August 2016

After the epic rain preceding the Soggy Bottom all the racers were preparing for potentially horrendous conditions on the course. Fortunately the course was mostly just moist with the occasional section of wet. Even a lot of the wet cleared up for many riders return trip back towards Devils pass.

Revolution racing had two riders completing solo for the 100mile event, 2 riders on teams (both took leg 2) and two riders running the SBBS (Soggy Bottom Bacon Station)

Arctic MTB XC#4 - 21st July 2016 - The gorge trail edition

Nine team members were out racing in the only slightly smokey air this week.
The course was a tough one with around 800ft of climbing per 6mile lap.  Although most of the climbing wasn't steep it did wear out the legs.  2/3 of the way around the course we took a primitive single track trail that linked up with the gorge trail.  This added a little technical riding into the course and was a great place to either maintain some good pace or lose time against your rivals, if you hadn't already lost time in the climbs ;-)
Thanks again to Arctic MTB for another fantastic course.

Fireweed 200 race report - by Brant

Thanks to Brant for sharing his race report! Awesome job!

Brant climbing Thompson pass

It has taken me a day to recover and reflect on my experiences of the Fireweed 200 solo time trial and my psychologist says I should write about my feelings more, so here is a long post. 

I was not even sure about this race until a few weeks ago. I have done it a few times, once as a two day, once as the "ride" with two others and once as the "ride", but alone. I had thought about the time trial, but 200 (192) miles with no drafting didn't sound all that appealing. I was training for a week long trip to Montana at the end of July and that had been going so well, I decided to finally give the 200TT a try.  Bria was more than willing to drive support and I cannot thank her enough. She is the BEST!

Bria had not been feeling well and asked that we leave on Saturday morning. Since I am such an early riser it was really ideal for me. Of course when the alarm went off at 4:00am I was wishing for 2 more hours of sleep. Once we arrived at Sheep Mountain Lodge, we ran into Nick in the parking lot. He mentioned his team was short a rider and they would be competing in the 4 person relay with only three people. This also meant he had room for us in Valdez. Knowing that was an option helped my attitude later in the race.

The start was sunny, cool (not cold) and no wind. Absolutely ideal conditions! Started with one water bottle and a few gels and Cliff Bars. I knew Bria would always be nearby so no real need to carry much water. The first few miles are rolling uphills and a fast downhill past Gunsight Mt. A few of the other 200TT racers really took off fast. I knew I could not keep up with them, but I have decent endurance and an uncanny ability to suffer, my plan was to hang back and make minimal stops and out suffer them. The weather was AMAZING and I made record time to Glennallen. Swapped out a water bottle and turned south towards Valdez. The course is still downhill through here, but the wind was strong and my average speed was dropping quickly. I had told Bria I would need more water every 40 miles or so. Since it was so nice to Glennallen that seemed to work well.

About 90 miles in I was out of water. I had drank an entire bottle in 10 miles. It was hot, sunny, and WINDY and I was on the first real challenge of the course. The climb to Willow Lake is not difficult, but the wind made it terrible and the conditions dried me out. I was seriously dehydrated and everything hurt. Finally I found Bria and told her I wanted to quit. I did not think I could recover and I still have 100 miles to go. She quickly (and calmly) took charge and emptied my pockets, gave me a sandwich, a Coke, and two water bottles, one with Skratch sports drink and one with water. I dropped into the little ring and just started to grind out the miles. Know it was almost impossible to recover from such dehydration I made sure to take a small drink every ten minutes, alternating water and Skratch. I was now drinking two bottles an hour and eating a half PB&J each hour. Bria was on point though here and always at the right place at the right time. I had lost a few positions during my melt down, but I slowly began picking other riders off. I was also being passed by the faster 4 person teams at this point. I knew there were 3-4 ahead of me in my division. I was feeling better and grinding out the miles, but the wind was relentless and I still had the big climb up Thompson Pass ahead.

Bria continued to push the water and food and was never more than 5 miles away. The road was BRUTAL. Every crack felt like someone was driving a nail through my palm. Many areas the shoulder was unrideable. Somewhere before Thompson Pass I got a flat tire. Either a staple or wire from a steel belt. I felt my rear tire get a little squishy and I looked up and Bria was right there. I coasted in and was able to change the tire with proper tools and a real floor pump. This also gave me a chance to drink a little more Coke and eat some more sandwich, but I also ended up giving back every position I had made up. As we started up Thompson Pass I was passed by Nick (driving) and then Pete riding his shift for their team. We chatted a bit and this gave me a little boost that I needed for the big climb. They swapped and I was able to chat with Nick a bit. Thompson Pass really only has three big difficult climbs and the rest is pretty easy. The scenery is the best in the world and while the miles are hardly clicking along, the vertical feet are adding up. I stopped with Bria one last time before Worthington Glacier for a bite of PB&J and two water bottles. I was cramping horribly in my left leg and rode some of it one legged in an effort to shake out the cramp. The last climb from Worthington Glacier to the actual pass is TOUGH. There were a lot of other riders in this area and that helped me along.

The descent from Thompson Pass is really fast with just one turn. The road is on decent condition, but the shoulder is not, so I took the lane and enjoyed the effortless 40 MPH cruise. As we approached Keystone Canyon the wind was back and worse then ever. I was averaging 16 MPH with 20 miles left. Any chance at breaking 12 hours would require a big effort and a break from the wind. Upon exiting Keystone I got what I needed. A slight downhill and no wind and I was cruising at 18 MPH for about 10 miles. It was the best I felt all day. I was passed by another 200TT racer and was very careful to give him the required three bike lengths. After all this I was not going to be DQ'ed for drafting with a few miles to go. Of course, he grabbed the wheel of the next racer and was gone...  :(

I was stopped for a few minutes at a construction site but getting through the break in the pavement was not too bad. Of course the wind was back and it was a struggle to average 16 MPH. That was the magic number to break 12 hours and I did what I could. The cramps were horrendous, but short lived. There is a big repaving project in Valdez and we were required to drop down to the bike trail. I could see the finish line and looked down and was able to make out my time on my Garmin through the sweat, tears, Skratch, gel, etc. and it was 11:58. I really thought I could break 12 hours, but the odds were not in my favor. I rolled across the finish line in 12:00:30. I had to go back to the timers to tell them my number since my bib blew off somewhere after Glennallen.

Brant about to cross the finish line in Valdez

My first thought was that I never had to do this again. I now have an official time in the 200 TT. Of course after a few recovery beers I keep thinking of things I could do differently to finally break 12 hours. And THEN I would never have to do it again...  :)

I cannot thank Nick enough for allowing us to bunk with him. We had planned on tenting it, but after 200 miles I did not want to deal with the tent. MANY MANY thanks!!!!

Arctic MTB #3 - Hillside - 30th June 2016

The weather had been sunny all day, great I thought another sunny race. At around 17:00 the clouds started building and the humidity went up, well at least for Anchorage it felt humid, there was also a light shower of rain when I left my house for the race. Fortunately the rain mostly held off for the racing which started at 19:00.

The course was a mix of STA buffed out singletrack, older singletrack (Llama), social singletrack  and ski trail. The course had around 500ft of climbing per lap, however roughly 400ft of that was completed in the first 2 miles, which definitely served as a warm up.
It could also be described like this, climb to the top of the Hillside STA trails will this climb ever end! Descend half way back down a fun (technical) trail, climb again on a loose and rooty trail to the top of the ski area, descend to start area on a mix of singletrack and ski trails then suffer as you climb (again) through double bubble ski loop.

Revolution racing had a great turnout with 12 members racing and one as support.

There are also some really good photos on facebook.

Kenai 250 race report

The weekend of 24th, 25th and 26th June Oscar decided it would be a great idea to ride the Kenai 250, this is a race through most of the singletrack on the Kenai Peninsula, from the Kenai 250 website 
"The Kenai 250 is a challenging route, for experienced backcountry endurance riders, with over 200 miles of singletrack that traverses some of the most beautiful landscape the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska has to offer.  The ride includes the historic Resurrection Pass , Russian Lakes Trail, Lost Lake Trail, Johnson Pass and so much more!

This will be a 100% self-supported event.  Riders will be required to carry all gear required  to complete the loop.  The route goes past several small populated areas where re-supply is possible.  No outside help, company, ghost riders, pre-arrangements, reservations, calls to restaurants to pre-order food or wait for rider, etc.  Cellphones allowed for safety and selfies only."

Results can be found here but really you should read about Oscar's experience here on his blog.

Thanks for the write up Oscar, It was a really great read.

FYI there may be a few curse words in the writeup, you have been warned :D

Little a Triathalon, Palmer - 25th June 2016

Saturday 25th of June was little a Triathlon in Palmer. This triathlon is both a fundraiser for a family with a child currently receiving treatment and a memorial event.

Shannon was our sole representative racing at the event and put in a solid performance taking home 4th overall. Kristie had a fun time assisting with the swim on a paddle board. 

Kulis Crit Series I race #8 - 23rd June 2016

Back again for the final round of series I and with it all to play for after testing gravity in round #7 Tom pulled out all of the stops and took 3rd place on the day, combined with the primes that sealed his series win for the C race.  Next series Tom will be racing the B race.

Our other competitor at the race was Kelsey, also racing in the C race and taking home 7th place on the day.

Well done all who raced in the series.  Kulis Crit Series II starts on the 30th June 2016

Results will be updated when they are posted in a easy format to read.  Facebook is no bueno.

Kulis Crit Series I race #7 - 16th June 2016

Race 7 was looking perfect with regards to the weather, unfortunately for Tom he decided to test gravity and the laws of physics  at the same time which we are happy to confirm are still working. 

Alas for Tom this meant he ended up with some road rash and bruises to deal with, he has seemed to have a run of bad luck in racing so far this early season, we hope he turns this around for the late season.

Well done to Kelsey for checking on Tom and pushing him to finish, points mean prizes and Tom is currently sitting in joint 1st place for the series, you do realise if you win you get the mandatory upgrade right Tom? :D

Kincaid XC round #2 - rooty and steep ski hill climbs

12 team members made it out to race in glorious sunshine with another couple out for support.

The course for race two although shorter than we are perhaps used to was a lot of fun.  It was fast with plenty of steep ski trail climbs, some fantastic singletrack and a few rooty social trails thrown in for good measure.

Before I dive into the results I want to put a special mention out to two team members (Danielle and Travis) along with the other four or five racers who aided a fallen racer on the trail, we all wish Sheryl a speedy recovery. It was good to see so many racers willing to aid a fellow racer.
