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
