dang, they’re discounted too. I would grab some if they fit my bike. maxed at 44-45mm

Looks like they are opening up an official wait list - 5pm CST today. Will be first-come, first-serve as spots open up. If your spot comes up, you’re on the clock - 24 hours to claim it.

I almost hate myself for even considering it after last year’s race… but I’m gonna go back in for the 100. Maybe I don’t get a parasite this time :crossed_fingers:t2: :crossed_fingers:t2:

Thanks for this! Just grabbed a pair and they’ll likely be what I run for the XL

Edit: decided to buy a 3rd to have as a backup if I destroy one in training or something.

interesting. I didn’t know they made them in 700x47.

For those who have ridden Unbound - is it worth going to a tire this big for comfort + flat protection?

They didn’t up until very recently. That’s why there is barely any info on it. I ordered one to see if it will clear my Crux frame. Plan to decide if I want to ride 2Pro 42s, S-Works or Pro 47s.

Just what I need, a great review of the 47s to “force” me to buy a new bike. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Dang, that would suck. Do you think you got it from the road spray?

100% got giardia from the slinging “mud.” I will definitely be doing the anti-rain dance for less muddy conditions this year.

FTW…

I recently had this during my last event, and they were great. I’ve never had the Betty Lous but they look similar, but less calories and a lot less expensive.They tasted like dessert and would be perfect on some ice cream.

Betty Lou’s would be perfect on vanilla ice cream. YUM!

Are they worth $2.50?

I think I saw them on Amazon for $2, but yeah…even then they are too damn pricey. Would consider the Nature’s Bakery option at $1 / bar.

Update - if you are willing to wait, the NB bars are about $.56 on Amazon, but 2 weeks delivery time.

I’ll check those out.

I do have natures bakery gluten free fig bars. But they’re bulkier than the Betty lou fruit bars. That’s what I like about the Betty Lou bars besides the taste. 42g of carbs in a very compact form. I can just bite off half to get 21g carbs in one bite.

I found them at a Winco for .56 each and also at a Grocery Outlet for a few dollars for a box of 5.

2.16 on the feed. Less on either platform with subscribe and save. They aren’t a staple for me, they are more like that thing you eat between gels/liquid to make it tolerable to do gels & liquid after you’ve had one. I’m going to put three flavors on amazon subscribe and save every 6 months and push it out if I don’t eat them all (I will eat them all though) Amazon pricing can be wonky though.
