The Mountain's Revenge

The Mountain's Revenge TMR was the World's hardest 24 hour solo Mt.Bike insanity ever. Over 38,000' & 210 miles. Loops are listed on Adam's Strava page.

Permanently closed.

It was hosted free by Adam Shaw to closely honor the original Montezuma's Revenge which he and others missed riding.

Such great people at the final TMR!
Here are the last results...
#1- Nolan "The Kid" VanHarte
129.5miles, 22,715', 2nd best result in the last 8 years of TMR! BADASS!!!🏆
#2- Dan Hickstein
94.4miles, 15,496, Dan got his "returning" Revenge this year! Way to go!!👊
#3- Chris Parks
82.4miles,12,369, He graciously donated $100 to the Montezuma Historic Old School House maintenance fund on behalf of all of us! ❤️
#4&5- Dave Miller & Wade Hulse
82.4miles, 12,369', Dave toughed out back issues just to toe that line again🤘🤘
#6- Glenn Farrant
43.9miles, 5988', Glenn would have had easily more if it weren't for catastrophic tire failure at Tiger Rd. after all the shops were closed💔
#7- Bernie Romero
23.9miles, 3650', BUT, Bernie has had the stones to toe the line of 8 REVENGE'S!!! NO ONE else will EVER get to claim that! 🙌
#8- Jeff Nussbaumer
I'm not sure how to post his stats.... He did Redcone, but had the sick idea to cram in Radical Hill and Dear Creek just because he only had so much allowed time this year. Jeff is the epitome of why TMR!
#9- Andrea Wilson, DNS
#10- Dave Reed, DNS
#11- Jamie Elkins, DNS
#12- Matt Pike, DNS
Will share pics soon. Not sure how much longer the website will stay up. So download everything you still want soon. I will maintain the FB page and ALL the crazy loops are available on my Strava page under Adam Shaw.

I will still see everyone out there, somewhere, whenever possible. My only wish for everyone,
STAY AWESOME and continue to ride whatever that makes you grin like a mental patient! ❤️🤘🤙

ONE MORE

2 words infamous with 24hr events.
One more try next year...
One more lap...
One more hour...
One more pedal, one more pedal...

This years Revengers will get to say "One more" for the next 24hrs, for the last time.
Yes, the Revenge has run out it's amazing course and this years final graduating class are in their final exam and will get to appreciate every moment, till 2pm tomorrow, knowing it will be "the last one".
Between racing, helping, and hosting, this be my 13th Revenge out of 28 editions, over the last 35 years. It has been so AWESOME to be apart of that! But it is time for me to move on. And it was too perfectly poetic to call it "lights out" at the darkest new moon Revenge ever.

BUT!
Everyone gets to look up past their front tire at the amazing feat they're doing
One.. More.. Time
Everyone gets to chase the sunset down the Middle Fork of the Swan
One.. More.. Time..
Everyone gets to descend Lenawee in the dark like other Revengers for decades
One.. More.. Time..
Everyone gets to chase down their own demons during what has ALWAYS been THEE HARDEST 24HRS ON 2 WHEELS!!!
One.. More.. Time..
And I get to Thank everyone for being apart of this adventure with me
One..... More...... Time.......

Down to the final 2 days.

TMR's final rule,
9- You must understand the backcountry routes and the extreme endeavor you are about to take on. There will be NO aid or help available, AT ALL! THIS IS VERY ADVANCED TERRAIN AND NOT A NORMAL BIKE EVENT! TMR is no joke! Again, Think the hardest terrain there is for 24 hours!

While a bit slow as it was recorded 2months post planters tear, this is the two faced monster everyone will descend in the middle of the night next weekend. Oh, and that view on the right will appear as a bottomless pit as there will be no moon at all this year to light it up🤘😈🤘 That shaking in your boots feeling is you realizing you are about to feel more alive than ever before🤙Welcome to LENAWEE!!!

TMR has humored the "Hardest day" talk for several years now. Mainly out of respect for some really cool events. BUT, this should put things into perspective..... Revenge's have ALWAYS been THEE hardest 24 hours with 2 wheels since 1986, PERIOD!!! (mic drop)
