November 2, 2011

Over the past 10 years the Iceman has quietly become one of America's single largest mountain bike events. It's cult like following shows up the first weekend of November in the thousands to ride an unspectacular course in unspectacular weather conditions. CyclingDirt traveled North to Traverse City, Michigan this weekend to see what all the fuss was about. Turns out, it was about a lot.

@Ibisman - iceman is a cakewalk because you descend 1000ft in 29mi.

ibisman 3 years ago

anyone who puts down the Iceman as just a glorified road race have probably never done it.Stick to the side walks boys.

Bob 3 years ago

glorified road race? This video stopped right before the mud started, BIshop must have cleaned off the glass at some point to catch the end of the race...

21st annual Iceman video ROCKS!

LAME 18 hours ago Just a glorified road race. Wells was the strongest man in the race,

Watching that video I'd have to say besides Matter, it looks like Bishop was the strongest. From the footage he seems to be pushing it every time the pace slowed, taking the tougher lines to get to the front and hammer.

LOVE this.

Sweet video! It captures the essence of the Traverse City Iceman.

Congrrats Brian and Amanda! CHAMPIONS!

LAME? Are you Fing kidding me? No one ever called it a super technical mtb race. And I don't know what your talking about Wells for. It's not a competition of who's stronger, it's who can get to the finish line first. period.

Matter was like a fortune teller in this one with that pre race interview, "I'm going to attack." Brilliant.

LAME 3 years ago

Just a glorified road race. Wells was the strongest man in the race, then probably Schouten. Matter just got lucky that no one chased sooner.

Gordon,
I just watched this on my iPhone. And my wife witches these on her Droid.

Andy Bowersox 3 years ago

Finally, its about time we get to watch a pro mtb race from the pro's point of view! Can't wait 'till next season. MORE! Thanks Jeremiah.
