Yes, I am still around. Sorry to have my friends so worried. I have been doing a lot of training in the hills. New season of racing coming soon. And I do believe this would be the best place to announce our big race here in Bullhead City. Though I am not interested in this, I know Pete Falcon and Monocogman will be involved in it. (I don't ride off road) It is the Independent Baptist Preachers Mountain Bike Race, or IBPMBR for short. Some time in early May, just waiting for some preachers to sign up. So if you are a preacher, leave us some information in the comment section.
A few details concerning the race. The race starts at Monocogman's house, heads east towards Oatman. There you can get a good chocolate shake. Up over Sitgreaves pass into Golden Valley, get another chocolate shake at Sonic. Then southwest on the dirt over the ridge and come off the dirt across from the Industrial Park. Race ends there, ride across to In and Out Burger for a couple of double-doubles and another chocolate shake. Over one mile of elevation gain. Close to 100 miles of riding, though only 90 in the race, other 10 to In and Out and back to Monocogman's house. Any takers?

We were not worried, but just wondering where you had gone. Yes, Pete and I will be in the race, but to make things fair for are out of town racers, we will both be riding single speed.
ReplyDeleteOf course we are not just eating chocolate shakes and hamburgers, but also energy bars, chocolate cookies, donuts, Gatorade, and a lot of water.
ReplyDeletePants, you forget to tell our entrants that the winner will have their expenses paid for providing he truly is an Independent Baptist preacher. This is not offered to associates, youth pastors, or young men in training. (they tend to be younger and in better shape)
Well is this a race or a mobile buffet? You probably will gain weight on this race.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't some cheesy road ride Pants, this is a manly survival type race. Anyone can ride pavement up to Union Pass, you only need a couple of water bottles for that. Not meaning to disrespect you Pants, but Monocogman and I are just not that impressed with road riding.
ReplyDeleteI am confused. Are Monocogman and Pete Falcon both Independent Baptist preachers? I mean, they seem more like they would be in the "young men in training" category. But maybe I've just been fooled.
ReplyDeleteI am, Pete Falcon is not, but is a faithful man in the church. It is just good to have a couple of us out there that know the trails and are good with repairs to help out our racers.
