Hampshire 100

[noreasterbackcountry]

I did my first endurance race this past weekend at the Hampshire 100. Given that it was my first, I opted for the 100km option. There was a lot of learning done, but also a lot of fun.

They had camping at the start/finish line, decent food onsite, great volunteers and excellent turn-out from the locals.

From the other riders I heard that this year's course was more difficult than in previous years. I highly recommend next year's for anyone thinking about giving it a try.

I'm also thinking of doing the Green Mountain Trails endurance race in September and CircumBurke at the end of October.

Anyone else race on Sunday?

Holly cow that an awesome day of hours on a mountain bike. Great report NBC I hope to be able to 25% of what you did when I am in better shape which I am working on now.

Scotty- lots of time to get in shape for the best time of the year for mountain biking: Sept-Oct. And before you know it, it will be ski season!

Kudos to your buddy mlc.. that is a pretty decent time.
