This looks like a good time and it's within riding distance. Anyone thinking 'bout doing it???

Hey guys,

Any one heading out to do this? It is this weekend and from what I have gathered from a few people is this is the best marathon around here and the trails are supposed to be great but not well known.

I wish I could...can you record the trail on a GPS and maybe we can setup a future Group ride???

I don't own a bike gps, just one for the car. I am going to see what I can do about finding one but otherwise I am sure someone out there will record the route.

How far away is this. I might do this with ya. Let me know we can ride together if ya like.

It is not far at all. Google maps say half hour but it probably isn't even that long. I will iron everything out with my wife tomorrow morning when she gets off and let you know.

Well, it looks like I am in for it as long as they allow it. Let me know if you are interested in carpooling. I don't think I am going to do the 100k. I will probably just do like 75 and then have a beer. Let me know what you think.

What time do you want to leave? Do you want to drive or do you want me to? I have a mini van that can hold three bikes and people. Let me know!

what is your plan for distance and registration? I was debating about going tonight to register because I was told the line was long for day of last year. I will probably just wing it and register tomorrow.

If you could drive that would be great. My wife might come out later so I might not need a ride home.

It looks like it starts at 8:30. So I don't know what time you think we should get there. I think at latest by 7:30.

Ok I can drive I will pick you up at 6:30 if you think that is a good time. I was planning on doing what ever. Give me a call 06306 992326. Do you now how to get there? Which bike are you riding full suss? SS. Hard tail? I was thinking comfort with the fully.

I need your address.

Well I have finally recovered enough to write about the Wasgau marathon. First I want to thank Slim83 for the invite and putting up with my slow butt. I am glad you decide to ride ahead. I will have to get out and train more for the next one.

The was a great ride even if I cramped right after the 2nd Feed zone with only about 10k left. I was able to work them out and finish the course with out walking it back in.

There was some great single track on alot of climbs. Almost 7,000ft Yes I said 7 thousand feet of climbing for the 75km.

Here is the profile from my Garmin.

I get to ride my bike to work for the next two weeks kid off from Germany school and going to a Child sitter that my wife will drop off on the way to here work. YEA YEA !!!

Looks like it was a hell of a ride Jim. Avg spd= 8.4mph and Avg HR=155. I'll have to get some more miles in and join for the next one!
