Game Info

LML+ there is no registration. We do need a head count for attendance, email here or invite yourself on the facebook event page created.

Send email to- Lmldosomething@gmail.com

You will get tulips and the ship will set sail from the Walmart lot at 8AM.

Something more than just a bike race- FUNDRAISER.

Fundraiser history- Year 1 we raised $1300 for a young man in need. Year 2 we generated 400 lbs of food and $ for local food shelf. Year 3 the raiser brought in more than $2000 for a beautiful woman fighting cancer. Year 4 (last year) we rallied with the Bauers in support of Jason and his fight... Year 5 was cancer awareness and fund support to a single Mom.

Ethos: You are responsible for you. If you get stuck in one spot, you gotta get yourself out of it. Bring a phone, straight key for an SOS, or sky flares.

NOTE: The course will not be the same as last year. So disregard your bootleg GPS map. You rely on it, and it will cheat you.

THANKS TO MILLTOWN CYCLES & HARRY'S CAFE for their continued support!

Registration is OPEN, date- 3-25-17

LML version 5.0 is starting to roll...

What that means, people are starting to bug me or not get that registration is not open. Sometimes its just easier to cave in then try and explain why not...

If you've showed up to a previous edition you are automatically in, but you still need to send me a signal. For those new to this race, a signal must be sent, but registration is limited to a number that ends in 8.

The signal must include your name or at least an alias, a valid email, and a confirmation that I added you to the roster.

Note- there are still a few cavemen out there that don't have an email. Most of them are LCR's. They have special privilege and can just pound 2 rocks together to get on the race roster.

Sorry these guys no longer hang out along Hamburg Ave.
I repeat,
WHEN- Sat Mar 25th, if snowed in then the backup date Apr 8th;
WHERE- Harry's Café in Lakeville;
WHY- bicycles and doing something more than just that.
WHY cont.- the more than just that; raise funds for the to be developed MTB trail in Lakeville.

NOTE- not ruling out other initiatives to raise dollars/ awareness.
'Cancer still sucks/ do something.'

Save the Date March 25th, 2017

March 25th for LML version 5.8, back-up date if weathered in will be April 8th or April 15th.

Plan on another north iowa series with Ragnarök and Dickie Scramble.

Registration will open sometime later or when people start bugging me about it...

Fundraiser for the race is TBD. But it will certainly go for good...

Expect a similar drill...

Some might say to self,  "north iowa? What the heck does that LCR guy mean..."

There is something about a bicycle, backroads, and the randomness you encounter that spurs these races. Until whenever... don't cheat yourselves-
