I know this sign is really here to stop people from wrecking themselves on snowmobiles in the winter, but I like to see it as an affirmation that yes, that was a step hill I just went up.

We traded pedals for paddles and took a quick day trip to Johnson Falls. We completed our BWCA with kids bingo card of swimming in a waterfall, lots of snacks and catching waaaaay too big of a fish on a kids rod.

I’m sad to see KHS closing shop. As an MTB obsessed 5 grader in the 90s, I thought they were a cool brand. And I don’t know anything about their more recent bikes, but I can tell you that a 2010ish KHS Cx 100 is a gravel racing machine! Long live brands dedicated to making affordable decent bikes.

I rode the new starting section of the Gunflint Scramble yesterday. I’ll just say that it’s not going to make it any easier!

I know I’ve been joking about It for a while, but I’m happy to say that summer is truly here!

I was going to say that this year’s Le Grand Du Nord was the kind of race that makes you look 10 years older by the finish, but my recent birthday has reminded me that I might just actually be old now. Super fun racing in conditions running the full spectrum of bad to miserable. With both the 54 and 110 mile fields combined in to one race it was fun to see some different people out there. Personally I had a bit of a “diamonds in the legs” type of day, and due to that and some shameless use of aero bars on hwy 7 came in 9th overall. As always, a complete class event and great to see everyone out embodying the 5th rule of cycling. Thanks for a great event, and to my bike for finally getting into its smallest cog when it mattered most on 7.

It’s a certain race directors birthday today, and as a gift one person who signs up for the scramble before midnight tonight will get a their entry fee refunded! All I ask in return is a few extra pulls tomorrow at Le Grand.

We’ve been heavy of the gravel content recently as we prepare for Le Grand Du Nord, but that doesn’t mean that the trails aren’t great riding right now!
