You will get tulips and the ship will set sail from the Walmart lot at 8AM.

Something more than just a bike race- FUNDRAISER.

Fundraiser history- Year 1 we raised $1300 for a young man in need. Year 2 we generated 400 lbs of food and $ for local food shelf. Year 3 the raiser brought in more than $2000 for a beautiful woman fighting cancer. Year 4 (last year) we rallied with the Bauers in support of Jason and his fight... Year 5 was cancer awareness and fund support to a single Mom.

Ethos: You are responsible for you. If you get stuck in one spot, you gotta get yourself out of it. Bring a phone, straight key for an SOS, or sky flares.

NOTE: The course will not be the same as last year. So disregard your bootleg GPS map. You rely on it, and it will cheat you.

THANKS TO MILLTOWN CYCLES & HARRY'S CAFE for their continued support!

Wrap Up (Food Drive, Results)

This group of knuckheads that likes to ride bikes in questionable conditions raised 405 pounds of food and $105 for the Lakeville Resource Center (local food shelf)...

THANK YOU FELLOW RACERS!

Race Details (some of you are numbers types)- 95 were suppose to show, 80 at the line, 75 finishers. Winning time came in at 1:33PM, we left around 8:45AM (apply your math skills). We covered 82 miles (some more, some less, in a very quick gravel/ roady time). The gravel might be faster now than it will be for the rest of the Spring/ Summer.

NOTE- Results are updated with those that disclosed they missed the climb to knowwhere/ nowhere. It was a good little kicker. The day prior I couldn't get my jeep up it in 4WD (almost slide backward into the ditch), but I was hoping the ice would be gone, it was. Answered prayer.

TOP 75:
1. Mailen, 2. Roeser, 3. Hinkens, 4. Minier, 5. Buchanan, 6. Wilson (defending Champ), 7. Welch, 8. Norrie, 9. Dalal 10. Holmberg, 11. Kvittem (arm was good this time), 12. Laux, 13. Giannobile, 14.

Weisbrod (SS Champ- 44x16), 26. MotoYoung (most miles ridden?), 27. Rasmussen, 28, Swenson, 29. Peterson, 30. Gonzales, 31. Van Horns, 32. Egbers, 33. Giddings, 34. McElvain, 35. Swanson, 36.

    Larry in that photo, is that a smile on your face or an evil grin?
    The food at Harry's was excellent!

    +1. Well put together race and great food at Harry's Cafe.

    A fine mix of grass roots racing, fun, new experiences, and good kind of pain.
