Emerging SufferFest 08 Details

The SufferFest08 Facebook Group is now up and running. Here's the scoop:

SufferFest 08 is a multi-day cycling event based out of Atlanta, GA. We pick four days and ride between 70 and 100 miles each day. Each ride is different. The goal of the rides is to build our aerobic bases for the season. While accelerations aren't out of the question, the general plan is to ride at a comfortable pace for a long period of time, thus inducing suffering... which is in turn converted to a festival via cursing and bad jokes.

This year's event is taking place Jan 3rd - Jan 6th.

Day 1 - Rolling - Coopermine/Taylorsville loop 110 miles
Day 2 - Mountains - Ellijay (profile looks like good climbing but not epic) 90 miles
Day 3 - Flat - (kellytown or serrano or sixflags) - 90-100 miles
Day 4 - Rolling - Cartersville/Budwiser or equivalent - 65 or 100 miles

We usually meet up in the morning for some bagels at Panera Bread Co, go riding and then eat sinful food afterwards.

The founders of SufferFest are Marc Crouch, Matthew Crouch, Dana Martin and Joe Reger. But you can't sue any of them. SufferFest is not an official event. It's off the grid.

The first rule of SufferFest: you will suffer.

The second rule of SufferFest: you are an army of one... bring maps, food, money and your teddy bear... if you get dropped you're on your own.

The third rule of SufferFest: nothing is politically incorrect... f-bombs will be dropped, religions will be taunted and you will be called an rtard... get over it or stay home.

The fourth rule of SufferFest: your significant others will be pissed off by the halfway point.

We'll use this group to plan SufferFest 08... and to mock you.

And there's also a discussion board/wall to discuss other stuff. Hop on in and help us plan this thing out. We've got the dates and basic routes picked but there are still plenty of details to finalize.
