Some emails with Rick and Sam's Comment regarding TransIowa made me decide to open the floor to suggestions. Ultra Endurance Cycling Events the Snob should consider for next year, whose got thoughts?
Right now the draft board looks a little something like this:
Montezuma's Revenge: Voted the World's Worst Race
Leadville: Considering the Leadman Five Star sufferfest, all of their events, including the 100 mile run.
The TransRockies: A little suffering with a friend. "Dude, this hurts."
Kokopelli Trail Race: Like the bike section of an AR, but soley on the bike.
Vapour Trail 125: If the profile doesn't make you think twice, cut the check.
You don't see the TransIowa listed because it's a lock. I was going back as soon as I stopped in Algona.
I am interested in getting some other thoughts so fire away.

Personaly, I like TransRockies and Kokopelli. Give me a few days and I add a few more to your list.
I like the midnight start of the VT125
ouch
Let's do it!
during one of the hikeabike sections at leadville, I had time to reflect on why I ride bikes.
I ride to go places and to get great stories.
I realize, now, that I have taken a detour these past few years and have been trying to go places fast, not exactly what I started out to do nor do I do it fast at all.
These races are fun(?)and are the source of great stories.
Do you suppose they would/could be just as much fun if say, you did the Kokopelli trail in two three days at a nice pace? Do we always have to race,so to speak?
Just wondering, if you think so, think about doing the White Rim trail, should be doable in about 4 days, sometime in Feb or early March.
Just a thought, by the way you all probably saw that Dave Wiens won the VT 125 in 16 hours and change.
O.K. that's all
Mohican 100, it's in Cornbreads former backyard, I think. Then we could all take turns banging his mom.
I hear ya Rick, sometimes finishing a great ride with energy to go out to eat and drink some beer is way more fun. The only counterpoint I could think of, which means that there are at least 500 or so others, is that a race will always gather more people than even the best d.i.y. impromtu ride. Kind of like FREE KEG, and just as many jackasses will show up too.
