Comments on: The Race of Uncertainty http://www.fatcyclist.com/2011/12/12/the-race-of-uncertainty/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV.

Calvinball, indeed! If I could participate in this ride, I promise to do it on my beach cruiser and wear my Calvinball mask so that everyone would know that I was serious.

Although I do know that if you (fatty) were to put it on, I would have about a 90% chance that it would be a MTB race. ;) I would sell my soul to take part in a race like that.

And ask racers to do guest posts! Great idea and so entertaining! Would I do it? If there was one in PA, NJ, MD, or DE yes! Please please put this race on! And ask racers to do guest posts!

Corner Canyon would be the perfect place! And from there you could start out either road or MTB.

While rather long and in need of an editor, it definitely sums up the life of a cyclist. (surprisingly my tandem partner just told me about this video on our ride this morning) Also, I hope Pluto is the dog???? @plutosdad Thanks for the link.

Last year I had a tough off-road triathlon, so tough I wanted to quit the sport. I finished only 1 of 2 cycling laps and 1 of 2 running laps. This was a training race for a more difficult one later in the summer. I almost quit but I gutted it out. It felt like the worst performance ever. A couple days later, money showed up in my bank account and I got a second place medal in the post. You just don't know the ending until the whole story is written.

Make it part CX, part alleycat, part alpine stage, part desert scramble. I know just the place... How about: only 1 bike can be brought to the start, and it must have only 1 gear.

That marathon is not around (since it was never run very well) but i read a funny editorial by Hal Higdon that said basically "when I was running all races were like that" I remember a few years ago the Lake Shore Marathon was marked with the wrong distance, had missing water stations, and was basically horrible.
