Like many of us here trying the VTBR in 2025, we were struggling with weather issues and Ari was no exception. Here is his brief report on his attempt at the challenge.
Well, well. Never think that something is gonna last forever, specially in the Midwest. I had some crazy idea of getting this ride without any hiccups. Mother Nature had other plans for us.
I had been basking in my glory with temps in the 40-50 range. I kinda get used to temps and deal with it okay. But then for the VTBR everything went south. The speeding cranes above were speeding due south. That was a sign.
I rode Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday and accumulated minimal mileage. I’m glad I committed to do this challenge because I learned a lot. Studded tires were NOT installed, Fat bike was not ready, winter clothing not sorted out. So yeah it was a lesson. Thank you!!

Hey Ari! We who were also caught out in the wind, cold, and snow over this period completely understand! And I am happy to know you got out and gave it your best shot. Nicely done!
