Spartacus 100: Recon Reports
Recon 1
I made it out today for some Spartacus 100: Blood and Gravel recon. Here are few photos that are worth showing, the roads are in great shape right now.
As you can see I have the road commission on the job.
If all else fails we pass this place twice and I am sure they have PBR on tap.
More to come...
MangoMon and I did more recon today no photos but a solid base metric 100 has been added to the event page http://mysinglespeed.com/spartacus-100-blood-and-gravel
for todays ride.
Took a break @ the bikini loop.
I knew I was in for a brutal headwind the rest of the way. Hurray...
And there was a message.
