The 21st Annual Iceman Cometh Mountain Bike Challenge was held in Kalkaska, Michigan. A total of 4,766 athletes registered for the three 2010 Iceman Cometh Challenge events. Their ability levels varied from first time racers to seasoned professionals. Ages ranged from 1.5 years to 77 years of age.
Temperatures in Kalkaska were a chilly 22 degrees at the start. The course was very snowy near the Williamsburg Rd. crossing and the Vasa Trail. However, the day warmed up to the low 40's which turned the trail into a river of melting snow and mud for the professional riders' start at 2:30 PM. An estimated 7,500 spectators lined the course to catch the excitement of the Iceman event as the riders progressed along the trail.
Amanda Carey (KENDA), from Victor, Idaho stuck to her game plan en-route to a convincing victory. 2010 marked Carey's second win in three years and both of those wins have been the result of a solo attack. She was awarded a 2010 Iceman winner’s jersey and also presented to the crowd and was able to show off her hard earned medals. Congratulations to Amanda Carey on winning Iceman, aboard KENDA Small Block 8 and Karma 29ers.
