Nope. But if you follow them on Facebook, you might luck out and see when they are down to X amount of slots. Whenever they post that, book ASAP. It'll be gone by morning. This year they posted when it was down to 50 (I think?) and they were gone by morning.

Thanks. In 2015 I did the Bundle Racine/IMWI.....before that the volunteer reg.

Now seems to be slowing to the point you dont have to d othat crazy stuff

I will be surprised if it feels up fast. Word gets out how hard the new bike course is some will look for easier races.

New bike course is permenant or just during the construction?

I heard two laps up Barlow next year.

Actually I think the bike course is easier this year. 2 times up the 3 was much tougher than Barlow x1. I feel it will stay open because of the oversaturation. That said, IMWI crowd is pretty dedicated, so I'd suggest you keep an eye on it.

Was not talking about the the climbing so much. Way more seal chip this year. I got beat to death. Most were walking their bikes up Barlow when I got there. But in saying I am going back for my 4th time still a great place to qualify.

6 time IMMOO finisher, first time 700 x 25c @ 90psi finisher this year. Huge difference.

At least through 2017. There is still planed construction through Cross Plaines for 2017 so the 2016 course (or similar) will be used again. It will be interesting to see if they make any changes. Mineral Point Road was sort of a disaster this year in both training and during the race. It's a main thoroughfare and traffic moves fast.

That's surely true. It looks like IMWI and IMKY are some of the easiest to KQ based on times.

Lol. That's funny. Look at the winner's bike split. Then look at his bike split at Boulder. The competitors aren't slow. The bike course is slow.

Look at times for all age groups, not a one off winner. And Boulder is known to be a very flat and fast course IMO. Check out all the AG KQ times and you'll see much of the best are going to Kona so the field is a bit light. The winner was legit but is quite well known to even the pros.

Interested in more info on the change. What pressure did you run in prior years and how much do you weigh? Was it faster, more comfortable or both. I've read enough to ride lower pressure, just a skeptic I guess.

Test it. This isn't rocket science. Jack it up to 100, ride it. Drop by 5 psi, ride it. Rinse, wash, repeat.

I don't think the changes should effect setup unless you change gearing simply because of the pitch at Barlow. It's steep. I did my best to keep wattage under 4.5 w/kg standing with very low cadence paperboying up. I did use 53-39 with 11-28. I'd say 90% or more of riders should run 50-34 and there's nothing wrong with a 32 rear either. The changes aren't that big of deal IMO. It does also add a 50mph descent if you want to go fast.

I ran close to 100 psi on conti 25's this year. Next year going drop it down to 90 psi and wear gloves which I never wear.
