This is video footage from a pre-ride of the 31st/32nd Iceman Cometh Challenge. The data from my Garmin registered: Distance (27.55 mi), Riding Time (2:52:18), Elevation Gain (1,713 ft). The weather was phenomenal at mid-60's and sunny. The course is a fun ride. This footage contains all of the trail starting from the Kalkaska Airport driveway, so the course will be about 30 miles with the airport section and the finish in Timber Ridge included. It will be a really fun race! Thank you Cody and the rest of the Iceman crew for sharing this map!
