Whitefish, MT

highline rest

What does Glacier National Park and Hammergel have in common? The Highline Hammer, a three day event in Whitefish, MT home of Hammer Nutrition. I registered in March and have kept in slight contact with them regarding rooms and agenda. Today I received a bunch of material today in the mail; p4240002
mostly consisting of tourist information from the Chamber of Commerce. And a big map. Having booked my train ticket last week, I’m getting more and more stoked for this event. In addition, the hotel has been booked. I’m rooming with someone named Lewis. Lastly, Amtrak doesn’t have a bike rack on this leg. I’ll need a case for traveling to and fro and decided on one from Trico Sports.

Here’s the agenda for that weekend in August

THU

  • Meet and Greet

FRI

  • Short two hour Spin
  • Tour the Headquarters/Talk about Endurance Training
  • Dinner

SAT

  • 136 mile Ride w. 8,800′ of climbing
  • Dinner

SUN

  • Shorter 87 mile ride
  • Go Home

I’m really looking forward to a couple of the amenities as well; namely all the hammergel and supplements I can eat during the weekend and the photo CD of the trip. This’ll save me the worry of trying to take pictures and I’ll actually be in some of ‘em! There will also be a full-time S.A.G. Wagon for repairs or food during the long rides.

    […] Six hours on the bike. I know. Should have been five and a half, but who’s counting? Must. Ride. More. Else, I’ll suffer trying to pull 20+ at STP (not to mention the goal event this year in Whitefish). Heck, I’ll suffer anyway, but my saddle sores will be null and void. […]
