The Five Glorious Bastards

[Jason B]

It pouring rain, the trainers calling, I’m procrastinating, so trying to make a bucket list of the five nastiest organized rides of the VA/MD/DC area. Looking for epic rides that make you want to sell your bike for 20 cents when you finish,,,,only to come back the next year.
Two lists, organized and not
Organized
1. Mountains of Misery (never done, sounds painful and has a hellish ending from what I heard)
2. Diabolical Double ( sucked, sucked and sucked some more)
3. Fredrick Fondo ( friend did it and said it was the hardest Fondo around)
4. Jerimiah Bishop ( may be too pretty to be on list, but that gravel was groomed by lucifer)
5. Total 200 ( never done it, but wife would kill me for riding all day, making it bad)

Unorganized
1. Kill Bill (never done it, but it has a bad rep)
2. SkyMass (our most epic, but may also be too purdy)
3.OMGWTF ( the name, the four climbs sound nasty)

4. Too many of mine are skyline and mt weather variants, so need help here

So, what’s your Five Glorious Bastards?

Zoinks, didn’t realize Mountains of Misery was a double metric!!

That’s optional. You still get the “Finisher” shirt if you “only” do the 104-miler
