Ronde van Skandia to Open U.P. Road Season
April 5, 2010 |
|
|
Classic season in the U.P. is short, sweet, and painful: 80 miles of bad road under the nastiest April weather mother nature can cook up. Director of the fourth annual Ronde van Skandia, Tom Maheny, is once again compiling a list of the roughest, dog-infested, head-wind-cursed roads the south side of Marquette has to offer in his quest to match the hallowed grounds of Northern Europe in a race contested in the tradition of a spring classic.more

Miner's Revenge Race Report
July 16, 2009 |
|
|
Putting a race together is tough. Putting on an inaugural version of such is even tougher. And when you have to build the course before you can even race? Well, that takes an impressive effort. Thankfully, some hardworking 19th century miners got it started by creating a 1/3 of a mile tunnel through Adventure Bluff. Over 100 years later, numerous Red Jacket - BlueSky Health Cycling Team members, fans, and sponsors pitched in to finish out the remaining four and half miles of trails and do all the necessary work to make a race happen there. .more
