    This race is a ton of fun, but it’s also been a life changing event for some. Whether you’re racing to compete, or to complete, it’s a place to challenge yourself, an opportunity to push yourself to be better, and build lasting bonds with people from all over the country. Love this.

    Alexey, you are great for the sport. I feel fortunate to live in Michigan and to be able to participate in the race even though my only goal is to ride faster than I did the previous year. What a great time that race is and you summed it up perfectly.

      I agree, I feel like my entire year of mountain biking is all simply preparing for the Iceman :-) and I'm fat and old, but I love it

    Looking forward to 2024 and racing (more like starting) in the pro/cat1 division with them, a bucket list thing at age 66. But might be the ride of a lifetime just being there with them.

    I was there and saw the finish. Tyler is a real threat, and a race is never over until the end in any part of life. Your attitude and skill put you on top. Nice job. Spoke to you at the awards, your a great representative for the sport. 💪

    Love this race. The atmosphere is one of a kind. Did it many times, but it has been a few years since I raced it. I can't believe a pic of me in 2012 made the video at the 1:12 mark.

      @alexeyandavery  11 місяців тому

      Love it! Favorite HT I have ever gotten on. Light, climbs well and still provides some confidence on the descents. Incredibly capable bike. Feel free to reach out on instagram if you have more questions! or at lexcaliburv@gmail.com

      @@alexeyandavery I think I'm going to, I really want her to see how much fun it is. I'd love to race it but given the structure of staging these days I'd be pretty frustrated starting way back. Alexey and I lined up in a few races back in the day, had some fun times in breakaways at Waterford Hills when he was just a kid. I knew you'd have a great cycling career after making a fool of us in Fenton just riding away on the last lap. No one wanted to chase, he's just a kid they said, I was like look at the way he's riding, he may be a kid but we won't see him again.
