May 21
Mike Johnson and Rob Walters headed to the Northwoods
to race in the 2nd annual
Chequamegon 100 Mt Bike Race
This is a different type of race than what Mike has been training for and racing over the last two years
He has long/endurance/epic/tempo/hard racing down.
Cheq 100 gave him techincal single track for 100 miles.
A new and challenging effort

Preparations

Mike always pays alot of attention to every detail of everything he does

Rob in his prep

Rob is one of the best technical racers in the area.
Very good to see him stepping it up this season. Rob was not sure of his training, but was looking forward to racing in the woods.

taking a short break and resupplying from his drop bag

Mike had a mishap with his new Salsa
and lost all the tension on his chain.
His chain was practically dragging on the ground.
With many miles to go the chain picked up a stick and destroyed his rear derailleur.
After creating a single speed and hours of difficult single speeding
he finished with a very respectable time and place.
