If you’re into mountain biking, the Chequamegon 40 in Hayward, WI has got to be one of the coolest races around. It started in 1983 and over 2,000 riders tear off into the woods and end up 40 miles away at the Telemark Resort in Cable, WI.
I did it once, but have no clue when. Sometime in the late 80’s, I think. All I remember is that three-time Tour de France champion, Greg LeMond won it that year. I came in around 1,000th place.
It’s crazy to watch this and think about nutrition because I had absolutely ZERO plan the day I raced. I’m not kidding when I say may have eaten a bagel that morning and nothing during the race. I think I had two water bottles and that was probably all I drank over 40 miles, which I think took me 2:30.
It’s my last day of rest and this has me pretty pumped.
