Marathon Weekend....and a little racing action on the dirt!

Time for the annual Cellcom Green Bay Marathon.....and this year we will be racing the Stump Farm race on Saturday, lots of riding!  Every year a bunch of the Flyers lead the elites in the Green Bay Marathon, basically a 26.2 mile ride with some good ol' banging around on the last mile?  Last mile is the ride thru Lambeau field, my job is to get the elite overall leader thru the sea of people (all the 1/2 marathon finsihers)....much easier said than done! 

I have said in the past, go to the mall at peak Christmas shopping time, get on your bike and have someone tell you to get the runner behind you thru the people as fast as you possibly can.....or even faster than that!  Oh....and everyone is wearing headphones so they cannot hear you yelling for them to get out of the way.....awesome!

It is a good time and good fun, can be nerve racking.....but hey someone has to be the bull dozer!

Teaming up with Steele and his brother, and then his brother's friend for a 4 person team for the Stump Farm 100 or 12 hour race tomorrow at the Camp.....lots of riding this weekend!
