Marji Gesick 100 Mountain Bike Race | Michigan

IN PROCESS

I (Steve) have done this race 3 times. It was 2016, 2017 and 2018. I missed the buckle in 2016 by 24 minutes… The next couple years I was off by more than 2 hours. It’s a hard race. I have a couple race reports out there on another website from the first 2 years. I had stopped writing up the reports the following year and never got around to writing one for the 3 time. I don’t believe I have any video, but will get some photos, results and other interesting data populated below.
