The Iceman Is Coming!
Oct. 28, 2023
Wow, November crept up on us! It’s already time for the return of the Iceman Cometh Challenge on Nov. 4, the point-to-point mountain bike race that draws more than 5,000 riders from around the world for a 30-mile trek through the northern Michigan wilderness. The racers start at Kalkaska Airport and finish at Timber Ridge in Traverse City; drivers, keep in mind that road closures abound during the race window. Choose from a variety of races: the Meijer Slush Cup ($50-$85), which is open to ages 10 and up plus a tandem category and starts at 8:45am; the Sno Cone (free) for the “littlest shredders” under age 10 with rides at 3pm and 7pm; the Junior Iceman Cometh Challenge ($70) for young riders ages 9-18 at 12:30pm; and the Pro/Cat 1 Bell’s Iceman Cometh Challenge ($125) at 3pm. A big old party follows at Timber Ridge! Register and get more information at iceman.com.
