I had an idea to make millions this week. Millions! Only I was a century too late.
Maybe I can make a bike specific line...
"Tri Flow!"
"Moldy Waterbottle!"
"Sweaty Bike Seat!"

What To Do.
It's bike shopping time and I've narrowed the field to two. Let's meet our competitors:
In the Red Corner, weighing in at somewhere around 23 pounds:
Gary Fisher Superfly - Light. Quick. Raw. And says "Noir" on it. It screams awesome fastness. On the Intermountain Cup Race courses, this is the club of choice.
In the Blue corner, weighing in at somewhere around 27 pounds:
Gary Fisher HiFi Pro 29 - The heavier, aluminum version of its cheeleader-dating-star-quarterback older brother, the Superfly 100. If funds were unlimited or I had the financial sensibility of a President, the Superfly 100 would be my choice. Unfortunately, I am neither wealthy nor a Community Organizer. So its bulkier, fun-loving, but-still-racy younger brother is next on my list.
Let's face it. Every racer needs both of these bikes. But which do you pick when can only have one?
Which would you pick and why? Even if you just like the color of one more than the other, I want to know.

Making Gel
This isn't an answer; it's a question. I really like the Powergel, but I go through so much of this stuff and at a buck a pop, it's pretty expensive.
So the question is has anyone tried making their own refuel gel? What did you use and how did it go?

In my opinion...
After pre-riding all of the PCPP course except the climb up Thaynes, Midmountain, and into the canyons, I have to say I think this will be a phenomenal race.
The course is spectacular. I can't imagine there are many places where a course like this could be made. Seemingly endless singletrack with essentially no overlap, as it twists through the mountains above Park City, winding through the resorts.
It's also really, really hard. Tons of climbing with some spectacular views of Park City, the ski resorts, Midway, and Mt. Timpanogos. My personal favorite was cresting the top of Bald Mountain about 25 miles into the course and looking down on Midway. You'll know what I mean when you ride it.
