Scott discusses the the simplicity of a cue-card only ride/race versus using a GPS route and how it challenges the brain more.
#2) Turds of Misery - 200k
On location 50 miles in, Scott talks about the Turds of Misery 200k - Where is it? What kind of terrain? And how the heck did the event organizers comes up with a name like this ?!?

They are encouraging memorial contributions to build picnic table shelters at Madrid’s Dalander Park main trailhead. This is the linear park with the large parking area across from Flat Tire Lounge
#5) Valley Junction Alley Cat Ride
Our friend Jerry at Big Cock Bike Shop in the Valley Junction area of West Des Moines just posted his Alley Cat Ride for this year. We missed this intriguing ride last year.
