A tooth sharpening for Yeti? O my.
We’re just now receiving this report from Delano, MN. It looks like the Cuyuna Lakes Yeti made a dental appointment for a last second tooth sharpening.
At the time of this writing it’s unclear if Yeti did this in preparation for Bud and Lou invading his turf or perhaps this year he wants to fight fire with fire and entertain a battle royal with the titanium Mukluk.
Either way,...

Whiteout partner New Belgium Brewing prizes,...
We think Cuyuna and New Belgium Brewing have a ton in common. We both have fat tires. We both have Snow Days. We both know how to Dig. We both have Rangers.

The building of the Sagamore Ice Abyss Snow Ramp...
Members of the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew braved a Siberian wind chill earlier today and voyaged out to the Sagamore Unit, home of the Cuyuna Lakes Whiteout Iron Yeti Snowxross Race.
Today’s mission: Construct and build the snow ramp allowing Iron Yeti riders to easily transition from the Sagamore Ice Abyss to the Syracuse trail.
More than 10 brave souls came out to work on the...
Did we forget to mention? Chip timing for 2013!
Ok, we admit it.
We’ve kept this larger than Bud and Lou news to ourselves for over two months. Why? We wanted to wait till the last day of early bird registration to make a big noise!
The Whiteout race team has partnered up with best-in-class Karma Race Management to bring the very best of timing to Whiteout 2013.
What does this mean?
Most accurate timing ever and more importantly...
Last Call for Early Bird Registration
Monday, January 15th marks the closure of the sweet and sassy Whiteout Early Bird Pricing. That in mind, stop what you are doing and register today.
Remember. The Whiteout is a fundraiser for the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain and Fat Bike Trails. So each dollar invested in equals a better cycling product on the other side out. Unheard of. Awesome. Only in Cuyuna.
The yeti appreciates your support.
Rider Caps Announced
This past weekend the Cuyuna Lakes Whiteout race committee was able to sit down with the Yeti just south of his winter stronghold in Trommald.
The topic was simple. How many riders would he allow on the Sagamore Iron Yeti Snowxross? After much deliberation and back and forth dialog we came to this awesome agreement.
150 total riders.
That’s the cap, that’s where we have to limit...

WatchNight Riders.
Some say riding bikes on a trail in the woods at night is a bit extreme. Still others say riding bikes on the snow could be a bit much.
To keep both parties guessing, we decided it would be a good idea to ride on the trail at night, and on the snow. Good times! The night riders headed out on the Yawkey Unit tonight as the original plan of the Sagamore Night ride needed to be...
