We are NOT feeling ready for this

The Marji Gesick is a unique race unlike anything we’ve ever done, which means there's some unique prep needed. For one, it's longer than any other race we've done. It’s also going to be one of our longest days on a bike EVER, and there are a few tricky elements – like the fact that we will have limited spots to get support and, of course, the tokens. One of the biggest pieces of advice we’ve gotten about Marji is “don’t eat your tokens.” Confused? Yeah, well, us too.

Join us as we make final decisions on gear and bike set up, tackle the 26 hour drive from New Mexico to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and get our first taste of this legendary race course.
