A LOT of money, but for one hell of a lot of bike... although you might also want to consider the SuperSix Feminine 105 for £800 less

If you've read the fairy tale 'The Red Shoes' by Hans Christian Anderson, there's a parallel between the girl who almost dances herself to the grave due to her shiny red shoes and an enduring desire to ride faster, harder and further on the equally pretty Cannondale Super Six.
This is a bike I'd been looking forward to riding since I read Mat's review of the SuperSix 105. I wasn't disappointed. So addictive is the experience that the SuperSix Feminine is a hard bike to climb off of at the end of a ride, and harder still to take it easy when you are in the saddle. I noticed a distinct tendency want to stay in the upper gears- cruising just does NOT seem to be an option on this bike. Riding the Super Six is like having a voice inside your head always whispering 'faster, you can go faster' although hopefully not to the point of riding yourself to death! It'll draw the absolute best from any rider, whether they be an enthusiastic sporting amateur or an elite pro, and is guaranteed to get you fit fast!
On average I was a good few mph faster over familiar routes than usual, and much quicker up hills. The ride was extraordinarily responsive, with excellent acceleration from standing and at speed, whilst handling was slightly flighty but easy to get used to. The ability to truly accelerate uphill was impressive, as was just the general surge of power transmitted through to forward motion when the effort was upped. Even on a post-winter pothole riddled road the ride was surprisingly comfortable, with little road buzz, thanks to the combined efforts of the carbon frame (particularly the back end), forks and seatpost, and those Schwalbe Durano tyres. The frame geometry was spot on, giving a lively ride without being too erratic. Even on steep hill climbs the front wheel stayed pretty firmly rooted, with only a little lightening.
There is an issue with toe overlap with the front wheel however, due to the geometry, but this only manifest itself on extremely tight turns, much tighter than you would usually expect to encounter in normal riding conditions, although it could feasibly pose issues in city and traffic riding.
I'm not going to get drawn into an argument about whether there's actually a requirement for female specific bikes like the SuperSix Feminine now. Suffice it to say these frames and bikes can make life easier for the averagely built woman without access to a reliable and talented LBS with the know how to fit a unisex bike properly. In some cases they also use female tuned components - that is what you get here, the actual frame itself is the same as the men's version - the Feminine models are simply available in smaller sizes with an overlap with the smallest men's sizes.
The Super Six Ultegra Feminine from Cannondale is part of a relatively new movement in female specific bicycles. Whether it's a response to a rise in profile of female pro riders or just part of a general trend, it's got to be a good thing that now there's access to high end, performance orientated bikes akin to what's been available to men for years. There has been plenty of choice in the leisure and recreation end of the market, but little for women looking to race hard or really push their personal performance.
At the risk of sounding clichd, the first thing you notice about the Super Six Ultegra Feminine is its looks. Predominantly white, with flashes of bright red, it has an understated and totally non-girly appeal, in keeping with its serious racing demeanour. It really is a genuinely attractive bike, with nice attention to detail, but it's far from being just a pretty face.
Moving onto the more important stuff, this is a high end bike, at a high end price, with all the details you'd expect. The whole bike weighs just 7.36kg - for the 51cm bike I tested. With a full carbon frame, forks, crank and seatpost, as well as handlebar, there's not an extraneous ounce to be found on the Super Six. This is all about no-compromise speed and performance in mind. The bb30 bottom bracket is massively oversized and designed to deliver the absolute maximum of power for each pedal stroke, while the head tube and forks combo aim to give as much stiffness as is required for a responsive and precise ride. The Shimano Ultegra throughout gives a smooth transmission, while the Mavic Ksyrium Equipe hubs and rims offer the means to convert all that power.
In essence, yes, £2599 is a LOT of money, but you really are getting an awful lot of bike for that. On the other hand, there is a 105 version, you've guessed it, the SuperSix 105 Feminine, at £1799 (frame and spec, barring some women specific finishing kit are the same as the SuperSix 105 already reviewed on road.cc and that is a very tempting bike indeed). That said, the Super Six Ultegra is fast, faster than me definitely, responsive and will really encourage any rider to do their best and compete, even if it's only with their own times.
A LOT of money, but for one hell of a lot of bike... although you might also want to consider the SuperSix Feminine 105 for £800 less

So the range is (0,1] because 1 is within the range because it happens at f(1)=1. 0 is not actually in the range, because 0 is not in the domain (because (0,2)). But 1 is definitely in the range, because 1 is definitely in the domain.

Brewers open bidding for ace pitcher Sabathia, GM says
Updated: November 14, 2008, 8:54 PM ETESPN.com news services
The Milwaukee Brewers have opened up the bidding for free-agent ace CC Sabathia.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said Monday that the team made a contract proposal to Sabathia over the weekend but wasn't willing to discuss terms of the offer or assess the team's chances of keeping its prize pitcher.
"It's in their hands," Melvin said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "He hasn't really had a chance to talk with other teams."

I mean, there are of course, a lot of money, in the third fight, which is sure to come, Abraham vs Stieglitz 3, but even if Abraham should win the third fight, he is not worth mentioning, regarding Smw.
I have also noticed that Abrahams power has gone, at least in the Smw division, but lets face it, he can't box.
Abrahams reputation has been built on the first Miranda fight, and his Ko victory over Tailor. Thats it.
It looks like it is becoming true, The Kings team are milking the last cash out of him, via nobodies. Like some people said earlier.
AA is the story of a protected fighter, who could not do anything, when he stepped up, to the big guys. Sad.Posted March 26, 2013 6:30 am
DAMN, King Arthur got beatdown!! Quit on his stool!Posted March 25, 2013 9:05 am
I'm glad Stieglitz won. I had him winning the first fight by 3-4 rounds and was surprised when AA took it. Stieglitz deserved the win and winning it in the way he did was phenomenal!Posted March 25, 2013 4:32 am
I TOLD Abraham to change his style to improve his SKILLS long AGO but he didn't take MY advice. Thats why he got SPANKED. I SAID that AVOIDING Punches is GREATER than Blocking Punches and I was CORRECT. Abraham agrees with ME on that.Posted March 24, 2013 6:37 pm
I agree with what somebody posted here about abrahams defence working against middleweighrs but not smws, its pretty obvious to everyone now, however he still carries the power advantage so really he should be swinging for the fences early not his opponentsPosted March 24, 2013 5:07 pm
AA nuthugger
no credit to robert, just badmouthing of the great aa. get lives.Posted March 24, 2013 4:49 pm
King Arthur did really well against Bouadala, but this defeat put his carreer in a different light, Stieglitz being far from a top Smw. Kessler winning in London against Froch, would never in a million years meet an amateur like Stieglitz, ever. Kessler would clearly stop Stieglitz within 3 rounds.
I used to tell anybody that would listen, when Abraham was still a middleweight, that his opponents should simply fight him. All Abraham's opponents would just stand off him, watching him cover up. Until he stepped in with Carl Froch. So obvious, and now they call it a 'brilliant strategy'. Jesus Christ…..Posted March 24, 2013 12:44 pm
stieglitz looked good, he gameplanned well. That being said, the ref was terrible. Stieglitz's plan was punch until abraham was about to punch and then hold. He held every 20 seconds, the ref has to do something about that. I dont like abraham's turtle style, but I really hate a holding style. The point off abraham should have been off of stieglitz for repetitive holding, abraham's penalty was only as a result of stieglitz holding. Its similar to when someone like mayweather ducks below the waist, and then the ref penalizes his opponent for hitting to the back of the head. I would like to have seen what happened in this fight if the ref would have handled the fight properly. I still expect stieglitz would have won, as I had bet on him, but I don't like the way it went down.Posted March 24, 2013 12:29 pm

I HAD ABRAHAMPosted March 24, 2013 6:58 am
Abraham is on the slide though. Well done Stieglitz but he got Abraham at the right time and out of his natural weight-limit. I like Stieglitz but I need more convincing that he is do well against Ward, Froch and KesslerPosted March 24, 2013 6:30 am
Yeah but Abraham had success despite his defensive flaws, not because of them. If he had developed upper-body movement and defensive subtlety to go with his natural toughness and power ….. who knows how good Abraham could of been.Posted March 24, 2013 6:28 am
That performance from Steigliz was more impressive than anyone else's by far, he stopped the unstoppable and now he deserves the winner of Froch vs Kessler fight.Posted March 24, 2013 6:12 am
remember he was unbeaten at middleweight, lots of fights where his opponent would wear themselves out hitting his gloves then he would KO them in the later rounds when they were severely fatigued.Posted March 24, 2013 6:10 am
It worked against middleweights Neil but not the harder punching SM'sPosted March 24, 2013 6:08 am
Abraham defence was always pretty basic. Just standing there and covering-up with a high guard is in the idiots-guide-to-boxing. Felix Sturm does the same thing as do a lot of German based fighters. I think the level of coaching in Germany is pretty poor. Look at Hellenius for example …. it is about time someone told him about upper-body-movement.Posted March 24, 2013 6:05 am
That eye socket of Abes looked smashed up bad, great performance.Posted March 24, 2013 5:45 am
Rubber match or Groves!!! Happy with eitherPosted March 24, 2013 1:00 am
The Low Blow !
robert using some of wards method of punch your opponent then tie him up so he cant hit you back !Posted March 24, 2013 12:02 am
Ray Ray
Can smell a gd rivalry between these 2, fight no. 3 on the wayPosted March 23, 2013 11:43 pm
Abraham's skills are so limited. If he was a better boxer he wouldn't need to rely on a turtle defense. Oh well. Now he knows. For the 4th time.Posted March 23, 2013 11:38 pm
The Low Blow !
this was a rematch !Posted March 23, 2013 11:23 pm
I dont know if Stieglitz would have survived 12 rounds with Abraham. He was not stopped but the fight was stopped because his left eye was completely bocked. They should do a reamtch.Posted March 23, 2013 10:13 pm
Stieglitz did well stopping a sturdy Abraham so early in a fight. Not that Abraham showed much, really only that he resorts to putting on ear muffs when his opponent attacks. The sole ding in Stieglitz's performance: He should have ripped Abraham's body more when Arthur was using the turtle defense. On the plus side, Stieglitz showed pretty quick hands, that he packs more power than his resume suggests, a decent arsenal of punches and a strong desire to win. HOWEVER, he's not ready for Ward. BUT I'd love to see him in with a Bute, Kessler, and perhaps Froch next.Posted March 23, 2013 8:34 pm

Ashanti Hendricks, whose arrest last week at Children's Hospital prompted a lockdown of the hospital, was in court Tuesday morning.
A bench warrant had been issued Oct. 31 for Hendricks' arrest when he failed to appear for sentencing related to a 2012 case in which he was charged with fleeing and eluding officers and gun and drug possession. He had been free on $2,500 bail.
Milwaukee police confronted Hendricks on Thursday in the hospital's neonatal unit after receiving a call saying he was there with a gun. During a brief but terrifying chase, officers shot and wounded Hendricks in the arm before taking him into custody.
A new criminal complaint filed Monday charges Hendricks, 22, with two counts of bail jumping and possessing a gun as a felon — all felonies — and obstructing or resisting an officer — a misdemeanor.
Hendricks appeared in court Tuesday with a bandage on his left arm and was handcuffed to a wheelchair. Judge J.D. Watts ordered that he remain in custody, and he is due to be sentenced in February in the 2012 case.
In that case, Hendricks pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. The charges of fleeing and eluding, and marijuana possession were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

Haha, now I'm wondering if I met you when Kyle had a bunch of people over, during the summer, or if you're one of Logan's other friends xD Either way, nice to meet another rochestarian on here :B Either way, you're welcome :D
#72 to #68 - hairydickfarts (10/24/2012) [-]im not lying. Logan uploaded these pictures on facebook and his friends (including me) have been dispersing them throughout the interwebs
#71 to #68 - Daemmerung (10/24/2012) [-]
I know the guy (Boodz) who posted it to reddit, irl, too. It really was made by my friend, Logan. I assume OP knows Logan, too, but, then again, it's possible they lifted it from Reddit and pretended. Still, benefit of the doubt, I'm going to assume they do.

Ask all of the sellers to send the e-mail to everyone they know—and encourage those recipients to forward it to friends. Distribute flyers through schools, churches, playgroups, coffee shops and more. If possible, set up a Web page with event details too. Contact the local media to consider spreading the word. (Hint: Stories about saving and making money are hot now!) Word of mouth is so powerful among moms and that's the key to your event's success.
5) Assign tasks. Who'll find racks to borrow or rent? An organized sale is essential, with all merchandise displayed by category. Who'll operate the cash register? Who'll assist customers with questions? Who is on the clean-up committee? What will happen to the unsold merchandise? Determine all of these issues before the sale so there are no surprises.
6) Capture names. Get the name and email address from every one of your buyers so you can build a database to promote the next sale!

How to enable automatic downloads for Newsstand subscriptions
As of iOS 7, Apple changed how automatic downloads for Newsstand are triggered. Instead of enabling automatic downloads in its own respective section of the Settings app, like other iTunes in the Cloud content is treated, Newsstand publications now have the option to take advantage of background app refresh.
How to enable background app refresh for Newsstand publications
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 7 or higher.
- Tap on General.
- Tap on Background App Refresh.
- Find the name of the Newsstand publication that you'd like to automatically download new issues of.
- Turn background app refresh to On.
That's all there is to it. Just enable background app refresh for publications you want to download automatically and leave it off for ones that you'd like to trigger yourself. It functions much the same as automatic downloads using iTunes in the Cloud, it's just in a different area.

Life is about taking chances, having fun and enjoying your life. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.
Some of my best relationships sparked from a friendship first. I'm open to the possibilities of meeting that special someone, that's why I'm on here. Life is about taking chances and seizing the moment, I don't ever want to have any regrets. I have a passion for cooking, interior design and redecorating. Getting together with my family and close friends. I love dogs (particularly my own dog, George Clooney), he's a Schnoodle, Schnauzer/Poodle mix. I love to laugh, I'm pretty quick witted and enjoy making others laugh (I enjoy a night out at a comedy club every once in a while). Relaxing with a nice glass of wine, listening to music (Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience, LOVE it)! Watching movies and an occasional karaoke night, volunteering for a good cause (most recently Feeding America food bank). Disneyland, Disney and Pixar Studios. Going to see plays and musicals (I loved Wicked)! Heading down to Balboa Park just to take in the beautiful scenery or going to museums. I'm a fan and appreciate all genres of music, artists and bands. Homeland, Girls, Orange Is The New Black, Nurse Jackie and Silicon Valley. First and foremost I'm looking for someone down to earth and real. A good sense of humor, someone who can make me laugh without trying, and isn't always on. Life's too short not to laugh! I'm looking for my partner in crime and best friend. Confident (not cocky), intelligent, romantic, has a passion for life, and someone who is kind to others. Fem looking for fem. I am a life long Liberal. CONSERVATIVES NEED NOT APPLY! Thanks Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies. I want the butterflies and everything that goes along with them. I'm a romantic at heart. Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary. ? Oscar Wilde

What I found was that the nuts were somewhat corroded and apparently bonded to the studs. I was unable to get them off without the bolt starting to feel like it was starting to round off. Fearing mission creep and a trip to my BMW dealer in my future, I gave up.
Are there any secrets to getting off corroded nuts without destroying the stud and it's associated parts? I thought about trying to heat up the nut, but there are too many wires in the area that possibly could be damaged in the process.
Put a little liquid wrench on the bolts and let them sit for an hour.

Yanno, going into an area of dense idiots doing god knows what in their cars, I might be ready on the brake. When everyone on the highway changes lanes at once, maybe. Zipping into a parking lot, sure. Going down some road with deer all around, probably. Going down a steep rocky incline on a dirt bike I might keep a finger on the brake since I'm using it more often than not anyway. Depends on the situation.
Just riding along, with nothing in particular going on, nope. My finger will be on the bars, maybe in my lap staying warm, maybe scratching my nuts. Maybe reaching for a drink, maybe taking a picture. I'm just not that paranoid.
If I was that scared of it I wouldn't ride at all.
Wow - it appears when you're riding you're just diddling around.
Not so much for me. The road is the fun and I usually try to find something entertaining to ride. no time to diddle around, the next corner is here or the road is a bit rough. I stop if I feel like taking the time to scratch my nuts... although I will stand up to fart.
Oh, also no cup holders on my dual sport either. If I need to do that stuff I shouldn't be riding. That's why they put cup holders and blue tooth in cars - for people who'd rather screw around than actually drive. Then people think they need it stuck on their bikes because they need distraction. Next you'll be telling us having fingers on the brakes interferes with your texting...
Ever get lost?
You know, that good kind of lost - come to a dirt road intersection and you have no idea where you are or which way to turn?
I like when that happens!

I never thought I'd be able to eat at a sports bar again! But here's not much on the menu that isn't gluten free and it's all pretty tasty. This is my #1 go-to spot to make me feel like a regular eater again.
2422 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418
I love Sen Yai Sen Lek. I eat here about twice a month and I'd probably go more if they were open on Sundays. They're very knowledgeable about their GF menu and I've never had any bad reactions. The only service issue I ever had was a non-GF dish in a take out order. But I could tell right away because they're always labeled clearly and this dish wasn't. I called and they apologized and even offered to bring a GF replacement to my house (they don't normally deliver). If only every restaurant understood GF like this one.
1705 Hwy 36 W, Rosedale Center, Roseville, MN 55113
I love Big Bowl's GF menu. Lots to choose from, including a few desserts. They've even got GF beer. I've never had any issues with either take out or dining in.
600 E Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55414
There are only a few items on the menu that are not gluten free! And everything tastes so amazing. Brasa is a big hit whenever family comes into town.

Great job on the trailer you guys! Keep up the good work.
A futuristic wild west, Warm Gun combines the favorite motifs of the classic western genre with the scraps of an obliterated technocracy. World War III has been fought to the tipping point and ecologists long unheeded cries have been silenced by the grim truth of their predictions. To the last drop of oil have the worlds resources been depleted, and only sporadic traces of modern structure can be sifted in the dust. Time ticks forward but humans must retrace their advancement back, through a history that has already been lived and to the Wild West for the second time around. We have trampled ahead to the past in muddy boots, to the United States of late 19th century. Greeted by the ghost of the wide-open country, the exhausted land is barren too, of all the old dreams we fulfilled beyond our means. This spun western lets you create your own one-of-a-kind characters and unique gangs; choose from weapons new and strange and a wider range.

In conclusion and recognition
Ladies and gentlemen, that was Ten Thousand.
All of us at Axletree thank you for coming out to our inaugural running of this event, and appreciate all of the support and kind words said to us throughout the weekend.

Tell your friends the stories you told us at the finish, or dare them to join your team next time.

Route revealed
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Ten Thousand.
If you look closely you will see that the abridged route shortcuts back onto the full route with a 1.7 mile detour. You will still get to see the same roads on your way back with the abridged route, just less of them.
If you click on the picture for each route it will take you to the ridewithgps pages. There is a pull out page on the right side, with an Export tab that will allow you to download the file that suits your GPS preferences best.
The GPX Track method is very useful, as many roads are unmarked.
The only place you need to be extra aware at when using this method is where the out and back section splits off at mile 14.4. Make sure you travel clockwise and all is well.
Cue Sheets:
The cue sheets are separated into three segments. Getting to the checkpoint, and then the long and short routes back. If you want to print off cards to your specs for a holder, or get them laminated, you can click on the links below for each segment. These are setup for A6 card stock (4.5×6.25in). We will have cue cards printed on some sort of paper at the start also.
-Ten Thousand_Beginning Leg
-Ten Thousand_Little Spoon
-Ten Thousand_Big Spoon
The third resource at your disposal are the good old paper IDOT bicycle maps. The battery life is pretty great on these things. These are the peanut butter to the cue sheets jelly.
Use these resources well, and stay alert. Missing a turn here might mean you have to climb back up a half mile hill all over again. Plan ahead.
Stay Alert:
Expect many roads not to be marked. For example the road in the picture below is the turn for "Mud Road". No signs, and looks just like a driveway. Keep an eye on your computers mileage, and your GPS info to stay on track.
Expect surprise sections of loose gravel. This photo below shows a fresh 2″ deep section we encountered in the middle of a paved 35+ mph turn.
We look forward to having you out next weekend. Come prepared and ready for a beautiful ride with 103 other people. See you soon.
Cross your t's, dot your i's.
Everyone knows the general overview of the event, but now we will get a little more specific with some of the details.
First off, we present to you our home base within Krape Park for the day.
The Koenig Amphitheater is where you will report to in the morning to sign a waiver with us, between 6am to 6:45am. Hopefully you have your setup ready to roll, but if you need more time to setup your bike or prepare, feel free to get to the park earlier.
Krape Parking
The Freeport Park District requests that we park in two specific spots first, which conveniently for you are close to the amphitheater. I have color coded these spots below, please fill them appropriately. Please use the green spots first, and then overflow into the yellow general parking.
We will have a brief few words of instruction before the ride rolls out at 7am, and then you are on your own. There will be about a mile escorted by a vehicle.
Take care of yourself
I want to stress that we can not, and will not, come and help riders back to town should the need arise. This is not a supported ride. It is your responsibility to be prepared for whatever need arises, and having someone with a vehicle at standby to remove you from the course is recommended. This vehicle is NOT allowed to meet you on course for any reason other then removing you from the event. Flat tires and you forgot tubes? Ask other riders. Ran out of water? Ask other riders, or knock on a farm house. Not only is this par for the endurance course, but putting 100 of your Moms roaming around the course in mini vans would be very dangerous. You are on your own. Have fun, enjoy your adventure, and don't cheat.
We better not get that phone call, where someone has broken their chain three times, and asks how they should get back to town 40 miles away.
As mentioned, the only checkpoint is at mile 42. If you get there prior to 11:15am, you can choose whether you advance onto the 125 or 73 mile route, depending on if you want to double or triple your mileage. If you have not done numerous 10+ hour rides this year, and don't know how your body works at that point, you should take an extra minute and think.
If you arrive after 11:15, which is below a 10mph average speed, the thinking part is done for you. You will be required to progress onto the 73 mile route. There will be plain water at this checkpoint, which we will be hauling to the spot.
Water and Food
Please bring a ton of both. No food on the 73 mile route, and one gas station at mile 84 on the 126 mile route.
There is a gas station a mile off the route about 12 miles away from Freeport for both, should you be hurting that bad. Use your intuition, it's easy to find.
Remember, this year at the Gravel Metric 70% of people ran out of water. If you do that here you wont make it back.
Official finish cut off
It's par for the course for events like this to have an official finish cut off time equal to a 10mph average. That makes it 7:30pm for the complete course. This feat will be more difficult then it seems at first, but doable for riders that know steady pacing, nutrition, and positive thoughts. Come knowing there is a reasonable chance you will not make the cut off.
Those that succeed in finishing the complete route in the allotted time will have their names recorded forever on the walls of this page of the internet.
This ride is a challenge, and finishing the course in any regard is a feat. You can focus on accomplishing your goals, and know that we will be here for you at the end for an extended amount of time after the cut off. The Freeport Park District has went above and beyond and given us a special permit to let you park your car as long as you need to finish the course. Show your thanks, abide by park rules, keep the park clean, and support the local business.
We will have a checklist to mark people off on as they arrive, or notify us they have withdrawn from the event. We don't mind waiting for you to finish, but we do mind waiting for someone that is already on their way back to Chicago.
A number to text to with your DNF will be provided the morning of. If you call this number for help, you will be told to call 911. If you call this number for directions, you will be told the location of the cue sheets and paper IDOT maps that have been at the start line since you arrived.
At least a small flashing light front and rear is mandatory, just in case.
You will see dogs. These dogs might run after you. So far we have not found any dogs that are hostile, but use your intuition. Farm Dogs are Sprint Training.
This dog lives at mile 15.4 at the bottom of your first hill. I call him Falkor.
Post ride
We will have a grill setup for riders to cook food on post ride. Bring a cooler in your vehicle with your burgers, buns, fixings, pasta salad, and whatever else you want to eat for the post ride. Hangout, rest, clap for incoming riders, and try to figure out which hill someone is talking about as everyone exchanges stories.
Forgot all of your food but want to hangout? There is a full grocery store a couple miles away, or a concession stand 200ft across the lot.
If you'd prefer a restaurant away from the company of yet unmet friends, we would suggest locally owned "This Is It Eatery", located downtown.
There is no big awards ceremony. Set your goals, attempt them, share your story, create memories.
The course, with cue sheets and GPS data will be released on July 6th. This will give you five days to upload it into your GPS device, or print off your own cue sheets to get familiar with. The course is not marked by us, and generally poorly marked by the state. This is why while most endurance events only give cue sheets, we will also supply you with GPS and paper IDOT maps. You have the tools, use them wisely, and don't blindly follow the wheel in front of you.
We encourage questions. We like providing answers more then assumptions, usually. Either email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or ask openly on the facebook event page.
Birth of Ten Thousand
Some of you might have recently noticed that our little event, that hasn't even had it's first running yet, was called by an obscure website one of the "Best gravel races in America". This amused us for multiple reasons.
First of all, only two people in the world had even seen the route at the time. Who knows if it is 10,000 feet of highway miles or not?
Second of all, and more aligned with the topic of this post, we have never claimed this to be a "gravel race".
For the last number of years, perhaps even since the inception of the gravel subculture, there has been an objective of taking out as many pavement miles as possible, to connect all the gravel dots. It's not a bad agenda, after all a gravel event should in fact be as much on gravel as possible.
We, Axletree, have used those same motives when making the popular Gravel Metric course, and there are many other events that do this with fantastic results.
This was not our blueprint for creating the Ten Thousand.
Simply put, we had one goal in mind when creating this route: Find the raddest roads with the most stunning intrinsic beauty, whatever their surface.
Granted, well over half the roads did end up being gravel. As we all know, seldom used gravel roads tend to follow awkward and indirect routes, and that is great for us cyclists. That is also great for us event organizers looking for pretty roads that go up big hills.
Win, meet win.
With that said, don't be surprised when you find yourself on an eight mile stretch of pavement now and then. Those roads are not merely connectors to get back to the good stuff, those roads are the good stuff. Sit up and look around you, if you can breathe. Take in the wonderful day on the bicycle you are experiencing. After all, our guiding mindset was to show you what we feel are some of the very best roads in our entire state, and beyond, if we may be so bold.
There will be lots, and lots, and lots of gravel, simply because those roads are good. But be ready for miles of great pavement also, especially if you are doing the full loop.
Ten Thousand. It's not a gravel road race, nor a paved road race, it's just a rad road race.
Come ride with us.

A long time ago the land of Northern Illinois was a rugged place, corrugated with bluffs, hills, and rolling prairie. 250,000 years ago glaciers came in and flattened most of that awesome into boringness. Glaciers are jerks. Unknown to many, though, a small sliver of rolling, rugged terrain remains in Illinois.
We invite you to come explore this wonderful byproduct of glacial neglect.
The Roman Numeral for 10,000 is an "X" with a line above it. We think that is pretty rad, so we're sticking to it.
July 12th. 7am. Krape Park, Freeport.
Starting in Freeport Illinois, teams of three and teams of one will cover two hundred kilometers (or one hundred twenty five miles) and ascend ten thousand ft. The road surface will be a mixture of gravel, pavement, and curse words.
Bring friends, form a team, create memories, help each other through suffering.
– This is a Gentlemans Race format. Teams of three or more* riders will work together to accomplish their goal: survive with dignity.
*Teams limited to 3-300 riders. Teams larger then 300 must be broken into smaller teams.
– Teams will be required to arrive at the checkpoint and finish together, you know, like a team.
– While it is inevitable that one rider on a team will be physically slower than the others, do not underestimate the mental strength it will take to ride as a team for 10+ hours. Turtles and hares and what not.
– Camaraderie, accomplishment, and memories are what this event is all about.
– Solo: If you like putting the "I" in team, we have something for you. We understand not everyone has two friends. We also understand you may like this sort of torture by yourself. Come, ride your bike, have fun, suffer, but don't expect any shoulders to cry on.
Just like every Axletree event, registration for this event is free. We have donated our time and energy into making this event what it is, and hope you enjoy it. Due to the nature of this event we will have registration ahead of time so we know who to expect.
Registration ends Sunday July 6th at midnight. After that date no new teams or solo riders may register. A team may substitute a member in the event something comes up. Life happens.
To register send an email to email@example.com with "Ten Thousand" in the subject line and the following information:
Solo or Team:
Team Name: (Keep it clean, or we will name your team for you, and it will be super cute. No exceptions.)
Teammates: (When you send us an email, CC in your teammates to keep everyone aware)
Please also RSVP to the Facebook event HERE. This does not register you for the event, but it does make you look cooler to your friends.
Day of:
You and your team will need to arrive at Krape Park between 6:00am-6:45am to sign the waiver, collect a cue sheet, and get your final preparations in order before the 7am start. Sunrise is at 5:33am that day,which is when the park opens, so up and at em. (Sunset is at 8:26, for what it's worth.)
I have spent many hours riding, exploring, and looking at maps of the Nor'western Territory of Illinois, starting with charts from the Louisiana Purchase. This route is the end product of those long hours. Roads were chosen based on scenic qualities, topographic challenges, and lack of automobiles. A lot of these roads are gravel, some are pavement, and some are "other".
The first and last 12 miles are relatively flat, so you will doubt us at first. We recommend you treat these sections as warm-up and cool-down. Or bury yourself, whatever floats your goat.
Cue Sheets/GPS:
This ride will be guided via cue sheets, with a GPS alternative. If you are bad at directions, get lost easily, or expect markings on every corner, I suggest you pick your teammates wisely.
Riders will get cue sheets to checkpoint #1 (mile 42) at the starting line. Riders making it to checkpoint #1 within 4.5 hours receive the cuesheet to complete the route. Riders reaching Checkpoint #1 after 4.5 hours will receive a truncated cue sheet sending them back to Freeport on the latter half of the route. This shortened route will still give riders 72 miles and 5,300ft of climbing. This is a non-negotiable time limit, chosen for your safety and our sanity.
You'll want to keep an eye out for the "X" mark on the course at particularly tricky spots. It will indicate you should probably turn. We may put that on your hands at checkpoints because we think it would be hilarious if everyone who completed the event ended up looking straightedge. Because if you're not now, you never were.
Don't forget to bring a calibrated computer with you to navigate. Preferably not a laptop/desktop, but that's your prerogative.
I will also post a GPX file before the event. I originally was going to do the route entirely by cue sheets, but with roads that are shaped less like lego blocks, and more like spider webs, I thought it wise to provide a secondary navigation option. My main goal is to help people see some amazing roads in the prettiest part of Illinois, and less to make people solve their way through a labyrinth.
The route will be released with further instructions 3-5 days before the event.
There will be only one gas station resupply on the route, around mile 86. There will also be water available at Checkpoint #1 at mile 42. Riders will need to carry a significant amount of calories and water to finish this event. If you come with two water bottles, you are a silly, silly person. I hope your teammates can carry you back. Remember, July. Once again, July.
There will be no drop bags or outside assistance allowed. If you can not carry enough water and supplies, then the New Belgium Tour de Fat is that same day, and could be a better option for you.
Sag Wagon:
Call your wife, husband, brother, nephew's cousin's roommate, friend, Mom, etc. We are not picking you up. This is self-supported, you and your team are on your own. Please, be prepared, or bring boy scouts. Those kids are always prepared.
Support vehicles are forbidden on the route, unless you quit and they are taking you back to civilization. Having team vehicles roaming the course creates an unneeded element that other riders shouldn't have to deal with when they are climbing, descending, and enjoying their day on their bicycles.
Support vehicles also make riders nonchalant concerning their preparation and navigation. Don't do that, be as chalant as possible.
Lastly, please remember to bring a helmet and flashing lights for the front and rear of your bike. You might think flashing lights are overkill since you are leaving at 7am, but you might think a lot of things. Be prepared.
Salsa Cycles, supporter of rad things big and small, is our main sponsor. The ride is totally self supported and there are no prizes, so our sponsorship deal went something like this:
US: "Hey Salsa, we're having a really cool endurance event in the middle of nowhere where no endurance event this hard should be – want to put your name on it?"
THEM: "Heck yeah! Can we send some bottles and blog up about it?"
US: "Heck yeah!"
And so on… for three more hours.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
More details will be released via the Facebook page here. It will mostly just be cool pictures of the roads in the area, and other such things.
PS. Remember to register via firstname.lastname@example.com

Mobile Mass Money launches on the 22nd of March and it's been produced by two quite productive marketers known as Frank Lucas & Matt Marcus who have made some serious funds online!
This new item focuses to the power of "mobile marketing" which is a new marketing concept that is going to be the next big thing online!
Currently everybody is talking about social media because facebook has around 600 million members however that is nothing compared to the power of "mobile marketing" as there's about 5 billion cellular users across the world!
Mobile Mass Money Review – What's Inside?
When you purchase Mobile Mass Money you'll get a brand new software which has never been seen before.
We honestly mean it when we say that this software is not a copy and has never been released before!
This software is highly interesting however it's pretty simple to use. You'll also receive the full blueprints for "exactly" how to make money with mobile mass money and exactly how to use the software.
The owners Frank & Matt have allowed a handful of "beta" testers to use the software before it went live to check that it worked properly and to tweak the system and these "beta" testers have all absolutely loved it and they have been able to make revenue with this!
We loved about Mobile Mass Money was the fact that when you purchase you get the following:
* Unique Software (we love software)
* Full Training To Use The Software
* Full Blueprints To Make Funds Before getting access into this product we literally had no idea about cellular marketing and it wasn't something that we were using in our own business however since learning all about cellular marketing we've realised that it is a huge industry that we need to tap into and anybody who starts using this now will be able to make serious dollars.

The 2015 Golden Globes winners will be revealed during the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler-hosted awards ceremony, broadcast live on Sunday, January 11, 2015 at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on NBC.
The 2015 Golden Globes winners are considered somewhat of a primer for the upcoming Oscars (both of which feature many of the same big Hollywood names and movies of the past year), but not exactly a perfect predictor either. Many movies and actors have won at the Golden Globes only to not even be nominated at the Oscars.
Check out the full list of 2015 Golden Globes winners below—which we'll bold as soon as they're announced on the telecast—and let us know what you think in the comments. Did your picks win big?
The 2015 Golden Globes nominations are in and we already can't wait for the awards ceremony! Comedic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are returning to host the Globes for the third straight year, which is awesome if you like awesome things. But enough of that, let's get down to the list of nominees!
Kate Beckinsale, Peter Krause, Jeremy Piven and Paula Patton joined the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to announce the 2015 Golden Globes nominations.
The 2015 Golden Globes awards ceremony will be be broadcast live on Sunday, January 11, 2015 at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on NBC. Until then, check out the list of nominations below as they are announced.
Fans of classic country music, tonight Route 92 in Youngsville proudly presents the legendary John Anderson live in concert.
Things are about to get busy here in south Louisiana. There are a ton of festivals, lots of football, great outdoor activities and a whole slew of great concerts going on in the month of October.
If you're a big picture kind of guy (or gal), Kenny Chesney's 'The Big Revival' project may not be for you. The 11 songs on the singer's new album celebrate the little moments in life that at the time mean nothing, but later mean everything.
Kip Sonnier opening at 8:30pm followed by John Anderson at 10:00pm.
Of all the super moons this summer, tonight Acadiana should be treated to the "superest" super moon of the season.
Cory Guidry, a Lafayette man, is in need of a stem cell transplant, and his family is raising money to help take care of his children while undergoing treatment.
70 performers have been finalized for the 'Playin' Possum: The Final No Show' George Jones Tribute concert November. 22 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Whew!

An Evening of Bluegrass with Noam Pikelny (banjo), Bryan Sutton (guitar), Jesse Cobb (mandolin), Barry Bales (bass), and Luke Bulla (fiddle), marks a historic collaboration between five of the most celebrated acoustic instrumentalists and singers of our time. These musical friends are gathering in concert to share with audiences a musical experience that customarily only happens behind closed doors, whether backstage at a festival or at a Nashville picking party. With each member being a front man in his own right, the band will present an evening of original and classic bluegrass music.
CAPA presents An Evening with Pikelny, Sutton, Bulla, Bales & Cobb at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long St.) on Tuesday, October 22, at 8 pm. Tickets are $20 and $30 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000.
Noam Pikelny has emerged as the preeminent banjoist among a new generation of acoustic musicians. Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as the "pros' top banjo picker," Noam is a founding member of Punch Brothers and has helped broaden the awareness of the banjo in the mainstream through numerous collaborations on stage and in the studio. In September of 2010, Pikelny was awarded the first annual Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass and was recently nominated for a Grammy for his latest solo work, Beat the Devil and Carry a Rail.
Bryan Sutton is one of the most sought-after acoustic guitarists on the planet. Sutton entered the bluegrass world in 1995 as a member of Rickey Skaggs' Kentucky Thunder band, playing on two Grammy Award-winning records. After his tenure with Skaggs, Bryan went on to build a career as a top studio guitarist in Nashville. His playing can be heard alongside such names as Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and Harry Connick Jr. Bryan has also released four solo projects and toured the world with artists such as Béla Fleck and Chris Thile, and as a member of the legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize. He is a six-time winner of the IBMA's Guitarist of the Year and received a 2007 Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance for his duet recording with Doc Watson.

Miniature human livers, about the size of small plums, have been made in the lab for the first time. The breakthrough, reported this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases in Boston, is a step towards making livers big enough for transplants in humans.
"We are the first to engineer a whole liver organ with human cells," says Shay Soker, a co-developer of the livers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina. Soker and his colleague Pedro Baptista built the livers by taking ferret livers and stripping them of all their native cells, leaving just the collagen "scaffold" of the organ, which they then filled with human liver cells.
The ultimate goal is to create personalised livers for transplant from larger pig scaffolds by selecting healthy liver cells from a patient and multiplying them to build a new organ.

Daily Update: Headley's run to .300; notes, minor league report
It's been a long climb, but Chase Headley reached the .300 mark Monday night with his eighth-inning single against Kansas City reliever Greg Holland at Petco Park.
On April 27, at the end of a 2-for-24 drought, Headley's average dropped to .211. Not only was the third baseman struggling at the plate, he had been among the hardest hit of the Padres suffering from a virus.
"It's the worst I've ever felt," Headley said about missing two starts in the middle of the slump.
Since April 27, Headley has hit .337 (62-for-184) to raise his season batting average 89 points. During the 55-game run, Headley has 16 doubles, his only homer, seven steals, 20 RBI, 26 runs scored and a .425 on-base percentage.
During the climb, Headley had a career-high 16-game hitting streak, hit .357 in June (30-for-84) and .421 in interleague play (.421).
Headley has cracked several National League top 10s during his dramatic rise.
He is tied for the National League lead in doubles, third in road batting average (.348), third in batting average against left-handed pitchers (.359) and fifth in on-base percentage (.393).
The Daily Five (Notes, Stats and Numbers)
--RHP Mat Latos, despite being ill, beat the Royals with his pitching hitting and running Monday night. He allowed three runs on seven hits over six innings, hit a double and scored on a wild pitch. Latos is 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA in his last four starts at Petco Park. He is also 4-1 with a 3.38 ERA in six interleague starts.
--LF Chase Ludwick was 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Monday and has hit safely in 18 of his last 21 games at Petco Park. He is hitting .316 (24-for-76) at Petco Park since May 18.
--RHP Heath Bell converted a 14th straight save opportunity Monday night and has now converted 55 of his last 56 save opportunities. He has a 1.69 ERA in those 56 save chances. Over his last 14 save opportunities since May 8, Bell has a 0.64 ERA. However, in four non-save appearances since May 8, Bell is 1-3 with a 13.50 ERA.
--RF Chris Denorfia was 2-for-4 Monday and is hitting .310 (26-for-84) since May 28. He has hit safely in 18 of his last 23 games with three doubles, a triple, two homers, nine RBI and 12 runs scored and a .383 on-base percentage.
--With Monday's loss, Royals LHP Jeff Francis is now 5-13 lifetime against the Padres with a 5.65 ERA in 22 career starts and 3-7 with a 5.27 ERA in 12 career starts at Petco Park. Francis has made more starts against the Padres than any other team he has faced.
