  • Iceman Cometh is the season ending 30 mile drag race across northern Michigan. It can be sunny and warm or live up to its name as a muddy quagmire of an affair. Iceman is a massive event with 5,500 riders and 12,000 spectators.
    As if that's not enough to focus on, I made my way to Traverse City, Michigan by way of a cross-country, long-haul road trip in a very short window of time, flying from Vermont to Seattle, then ripping across the northern US to Iceman. Come along for this insanely fun event!

    Haha, a 120 bike being referred to as enduro is priceless! Nice vid!

    I was the race timer at the start line. It's always fun seeing all the riders (friends and visitors alike) during the event. Thanks for taking part in our MI 'end of season' MTB party!

    Thanks for coming to TC. Iceman is my favorite race of the year (my backyard) and I love that last race of my season and getting some beer and cheering you guys on.

    Glad you could make it to Iceman. The party and the atmosphere is unique in the US. Come back next year to get into the singletrack with the lead group.

    Amazing editing. Great job with the video - it was super fun to watch, probably not quite as much fun making it with all of that travel. But at least you got to break up the drive with what looked like an awesome event. Thanks for taking the time to make it and share with all of us!!

    Ted, I met you at the Maple Ice Cream stand at Big Sugar. Wow, I was tired just watching all the driving then relaxed and focused when you got on the bike. It’s exactly how I would feel. So what do you listen too on those long drives by yourself besides Laura and the kids calling you :) Be safe bro and stay safe out there. Thanks for taking us along.

    This was my 23rd Iceman. I treat it as a yearly end of season celebration. Glad you enjoyed the race. I usually watch the pros come in up Icebreaker Hill but this year I was at the finish so I couldn't keep up with who the riders were that came in. As a old age grouper (61 yrs) I would classify your finish time as amazing. Anyway cool video.. see you next year.

      Not at all, it’s amazing. I love it! Awesome air flow. In fact, I’ve been thinking about how to trap air in during the winter so I don’t get too cold.
