ME, Matt is a special breed. I’m hoping to learn his “secret” and do a 500-miler in 2010. He’s got it wired. I wish I did. JB

Thanks again to Matt for sharing some personal insight into doing something like this. Hard to fathom, and harder to do. Good luck to everyone who is attempting their ultra personal bests.

Way to go Matt. I do the “challenge” century in 2 weeks, and now I’m glad that I have stayed with my commitment to riding the 100 when several others have opted out of doing it and have decided on doing easier 50 miles. I rode 40 miles with a beginner that had never ridden that far, and I realized the importance of personal challenges. It is good to have a goal, and personal focus, even if it seems a little intimidating. It is the mental barrier that stands the tallest, but beating it is the greatest personal achievement. Thanks Jeff.

Thank you for sharing this story. It should serve as a great inspiration to many, not necessarily to enter the Hoodoo 500, but as a reminder just how much you can accomplish when you set your mind to it.
Congratulations to Matt on an awesome finish!!!
