  Last weekend was the Iceman Cometh Challenge. If you’ve never heard of the Iceman, it’s a cross-country mountain bike race that starts in Kalkaska, Michigan and finishes in Traverse City. In between the two points is about a 30-mile stretch of sometimes fast, mostly rolly, often sandy, frequently tree-lined but all-the-while pure-Michigan riding. And at the end of it all – if you’ve had good legs – there’s a payout of $5,000 for the elite win.

• I didn’t have such good legs, but that’s for later.
