I rode parts of the bike course last weekend. It will be really fast up to Sutton's Bay (~15 miles) and then there is a mile+ climb out of Sutton's Bay. The middle portion will have all the climbing before leveling out again for the ride back into TC. Course will be tough but manageable, certainly not a Muncie/Steelhead type of drag race.
Lot's of buzz in West Michigan for this race. More than Steelhead has ever had. Most of the triathletes I know a planning on at least the first year. I suspected the pricing tiers will go very quickly.
Hmm, website says bike course goes "through Leelanau County and
Benzie County." Is it a single loop through Sutton's Bay, SSW towards Lake Ann, then back east to TC?
