ABOUT GREG HEIL:

"My name is Greg Heil, and I am the Editor in Chief for Singletracks.com. I've been mountain biking seriously since 2005, and I love to travel and ride new trails. My travels have taken me across the United States multiple times. To date (November 2013), I have ridden hundreds of different trails in 18 different states, and am adding more singletrack to my trail resume every year! I enjoy all types of mountain biking, from ultra endurance cross country all the way up to chair lift-accessed downhill runs."

John Kolarevic is the director of the X100 mountain bike race in Traverse City, Michigan on Saturday, August 23, 2014. He joins the show to discuss the race, including pre and post-race information, race distance options, and course details. If you were on the fence about racing the X100, this episode should help to push you over the edge.

 

The X100 is 100 miles of twisting single track that winds in and out of county gravel roads, two tracks and fire roads. Bikers roll through the most beautiful terrain Michigan has to offer: deep woods and steep hills dotted with pristine lakes, streams and ponds. The X100 has some killer cross-country riding – until now – only by die-hard locals.

Chainring setup and selection has become a HOT topic in the world of mountain biking.

Brian has taken a little different approach to his 2013 racing season. He's ventured to new-to-him national events, starting off with the Epic Rides Whiskey Off Road where he had a very strong 12th place finish. He raced the Trans Sylvania Epic Stage Race at the end of May, placing 3rd.

 

In addition to his usual WORS races recently, he took a trip out to Grand Junction, Colorado to race in the inaugural Epic Rides Grand Junction Off Road, where he placed 6th.

 

With that great summer behind him, he went back to his bread and butter of racing the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival. He took his 5th win of the popular Midwestern race. Listen in as he discusses his race, what it's like to win a 5th Chequamegon, and other reflections of the race.
