Notable segments of the course, with links to those segments, are listed below.
I've heard about the 2014 Mudman and it's hard to believe this wouldn't give it a run for it being just as sloppy. This is full, raw video footage from 2019 30th Iceman Cometh Challenge out of Wave 15. Riding time was 03:07:41 and my Garmin registered just over 31 miles. I also used a GoPro Session, under my seat, to get the rear footage but that was a bust once we left the airport as it got caked with mud. I was looking forward to showing that footage. Based on my pre-ride a couple weeks back, I had a particular time goal in mind. I thought that was doable until I reached the singletrack before Dockery...that was when I realized what was in store for us on the rest of the singletrack segments.
This footage contains all of the trail including the new start from the airport, the new reroutes, the singletrack after Dockery (which is where the chaos began), singletrack between Broomhead and Williamsburg, The Headwaters, and Wood Chip Hill prior to coming in to Timber Ride and, finally, Icebreaker. It was a bear but always a fun experience!

Filming: I use the GoPro Hero 3 Plus Silver with a Chesty mount. I've tried different mounts for the camera but I just like the perspective of seeing the handlebars and the tire as I think it gives a better visual of the actual trail lines. On rides over two (2) hours, I use the GoPro Battery BacPac which provides another 60+ minutes of power. When using the BacPac, use the original battery along with the BacPac.
Data: I use the Garmin Edge 520.
Editing: I use Garmin Virb at 1080p 30fps at High Quality. It takes a long time to process and upload to YouTube at 1080p. Majority of my earlier videos were uploaded at 720p 30fps at HQ.
