Cohutta 100 - Ducktown, Tennessee
National Ultra-Endurance Series #1
Christian Tanguy Does The Impossible While Amanda Carey Puts The Hammer Down
Team CF rider and ultra-endurance veteran Christian Tanguy does the impossible by beating the virtually unbeatable Jeff Schalk (Trek Racing Co-Op) at the opening round of the National Ultra-Endurance Series (NUE).
Chris Beck put together an impressive ride of his own to squeak in front of Schalk for 2nd.
2010 NUE champion Amanda Carey (Kenda/Felt) picked up right where she left off last year taking another dominant win over former champion Cheryl Sornson.
iRide Adventures/MTBRaceNews.com team leader Karen Potter showed she has strong legs after a long New England winter taking 3rd on the day.
Check back for more results, photos, and a report from the Cohutta 100....

here's a local winning races like this and doesn't do any hyping/self promoting. 90% of the mich scene should take note.
true, you would never know he was there, no blogging, no funny gimmicks or flashy style. just a simple a man.

Yea! He's so humble! Hooray!!!
Simple and Humble don't cut it. He's worked his A$$ off and I for one would like to hear some -
MICHIGAN MTN BIKERS KICK ASS!!!!!
MICHIGAN IS A MTN BIKE POWERHOUSE!!!!
F*** you Colorado, Utah, etc, etc - the true POWER is coming from the EFFING MITTEN!!!!
If Christian can't do it, his team manager, sponsor, someone should be doing it.
He posts a HUGE "V" and no one will even know who he is or where he's from. I call that a HUGE missed opportunity!
If he is a TMS kinda guy, maybe TMS can do a quick interview with him?
what do you think?
His blog hasn't been updated in 8 months
IMHO - he/his team sponsors/etc are doing a big disservice to the sport.
he/his team sponsors/etc could be helping to bring more attention and sponsor $$$ to the sport.
YEA MR SIMPLE & HUMBLE!!!!
Personally, Simonson is a much BIGGER star. He wins, he writes great blog reports and when he's interviewed he gives something you can chuckle about. I love that guy!
Asked whether he could have won if he hadn't flatted, Simonson said, "who knows, ya know. (laughing). It would've been nice to draft and sit in a little bit on the flatter sections. I was just givin' it hell man."
Absent are any quotes/comments from the winner.......
Funny thing about dopers, they always have big mouths...
Simonsters coach doped his way to 1 result
and now believes he is god, never met a more
arrogant prick
Yes I would have to agree with some of this CT, could promote himself, or we TMS could, to better the scene without being an arrogant scener.
DOPAGE!
Kachelberry!
LMAO!
C'mon kachelmeyer is clean;-)
That Tan Guy is scary. I hope its not a douchey New Jersey spray tan though. That would be a bummer. Maybe he can get us Snooki.
who fucking cares what he is doing.
WTF - what's up with all this mtn bike shit. Who cares!
Where's the report on Cone?
Heres your cone report: A real team shows up and Bissell shows us all what they are really made of.
So - there are no real teams in Michigan?
Podium shows Bissell in 2nd. Seems to me they know how to race.

Its coming fool...patience...
Simonster race reports are always the same-"I drilled it off the front and then I flatted, then I flatted, then I flatted". It's like a broken record. You would think an engineer could put 2 and 2 together, guess not.
I love the guy but dam your right.
