Maah Daah Hey 100 Mountain Bike Race
Medora, ND • Aug 3 2024 https://www.experienceland.org/m…A tough 108 mile single track mountain bike race. 13K of elevation, up & down all day! I did this event with some of my adventure racing friends( Ries, Keith & Don) and Kim was the support! A really long day in the saddle with temperatures starting in the high 60's to high of 113 recorded on my Garmin. There was also high humidity and this made for a long day. I wouldn't have finished without Kim & Ries who helped drag my through the day for a 13 and a half hour finish.
Jan Bear: 13h 23m 30s, 3rd place, Men 60+
21st place overall out of only 34 finishers. It was a long hard day in the saddle with some walking in the heat. Only about 50% of the starters finished. Actual moving time was about 12 hours.
