Subject: IMLP Bike Course - Taining ability to get nutrition...

Hi all,

  I will be heading up to IMLP in June to ride the course, swim in mirror lake etc.  My question is on the bike course are there stores to be able to buy H2O during the 2 loops?  I know that it is pretty rural and don't want to head out w/o the appropriate supplies.  I will have plenty of nutrition w/ me on the bike (2 bottles nutrition 2 H2O and my aero bottle H2O), but usually will buy extra H2O as needed on my long rides. 

So for all of you IMLP pros, are there places to get H2O along the course?

Thanx
Dave

At the bottom of the Keene downhill you can get supplies, you may have to leave the course for a few yards to find a convenience store, but no problem there.  Then in the town of Jay, where you make the left hand turn, there should be services there.  Next, opposite the entrance to the Haselton Rd. "out and back" I think there is a gas station / convenience store.  If not, there will be one in the general vicinity, as it's pretty well developed.  That might be the last one coming back, but should be OK since it's less than 20 miles to LP from there.

I just rode it and Max is absolutly right. I think that the best spot would be right after the out and back on Hassleton. There is a gas station or something like that as you make the L turn. You should be fine until then as the first 35 or so miles are basically flat and fast. The main thing that you will have to re fill is water. I ran out and I suffered for th erest of the ride and on todays run as I still felt dehydrated.
