Life Time Fitness is putting on the Lutsen 99er. It goes against everything I believe gravel racing/riding to be. It's being put on by a big corporation, the same one that has taken over the Leadville 100...making it even more commercialized. It costs $120! WTF? Gravel races/events are free or have a nominal fee (to cover expenses, etc). $120 seems a bit high.
Maybe it will go off and be a success but I feel not. I have been wrong before.
Besides the Westside Dirty Benjamin in the same date, June 11th. I'll be there spinning the single speed.
Tomorrow I ride; snow, rain, or wind...I can't be stopped. O.K a sick kid or something but the weather will not stop me!
Out.

yeah f! the man and Lifetime!
So I shouldn't wear my my lifetime kit in the dirt bag this fall? That will be a huge disappointment for me as I spent my life's savings joining their "team" and entering their events. Now I have no choice but to join the proletariat in the free racing scene.
On top of all that (and the $1800 I spent on that aweseome camp that got me into leadville) it seems all the "cool fast guys" just blew me off. Come on Lance, I gave you my number????
so true...right on!!! What a joke...
