I got a comment from Bryan, wondering if I was going up to Matt's snowbike race, and could I give him a ride. He said Hansen was racing, and it would be a blast. I'd thought about going up for the race a little, but hadn't given it serious consideration. Afterall, lately my training has consisted of a 2-3 hour bike ride once a week, followed by celebratory beers afterwards. It turns out that was the perfect training for this race!
Bryan and Chris get ready for the race:
John Newell and Jim Logan were there .
The accomodations on the ride out were first class. We had a bus full of bikes:
And a bus full of riders. We kept pulling the "Please Stop now" rope, but it didn't help. Matt just kept driving into oblivion.
This is what oblivion looks like.
I hung with the main group for a while, then we split up into two groups, then it was just me.
I could see Hansen just ahead, spinning like mad man, but I couldn't catch him. BTW, Bryan was long gone, and WON THE RACE!
After the race, things got a little goofy.
Seems someone got a deal on fake mustaches.
The fun continued on the way home
What tastes best after a hard day in the cold? Homemade Chicago deep-dish pizza!
Oh, and my excuse for this post being so late? I finally got the MOB Racing kit order finalized. It Rocks! Check it out.
