Traverse City: 7 pictures for 7 days! MI showed off this week! . @belgianwaffleride Michigan was a success and I cannot wait to see this race grow! . 135 miles with sand, single track, road and everything in between. The course was in as perfect condition as it could get with rain the week before, but sunny on race day. . My goal going in was to have fun, get in a solid race before Big Sugar and have friends for most of the day (7 hours alone is boring)... . I knew the race would wear on people so being one of the strongest on paper I just forced that to happen a bit more by riding every climb at a good clip . By 30 miles we had 12 people, but 55 we had 6 and by 90 we had 4. Myself, Connor, Lars and Garrett. . We rolled with this rad MI group for 15 miles or so before I wanted to start the fireworks. . In the finishing 25 miles it came down to just Lars and I and he had come to make it hard after coming of BCBR (MTB & Gravel!!) I got a small gap over the top of a sand hill while running and was able hold that for the next 20 miles to the finish with some tricks up my sleeve! . Proud to win here and LOVED being back in Michigan ❤️ Podium haircut by @sklove4 // @bellaamicitc .
