You poor bastards.

It will definetly be an interesting race.

You poor bastards.

I thought you were going to suffer with us?

I went out for a morning ride here in Redding, headed toward Whiskeytown. Before I got there it started to snow lightly. I rode some singletrack for about 30 minutes, then it started snowing in earnest. So I headed home and was a popsicle by the time I got there. What I'm leading up to is that I'm probably not racing on Sunday, I can freeze my a$$ off right here in Redding!

I think we hit the high for the day already. There's snow on all the surrounding hills of the Valley.

Cool racers, hang tough. I think Merlin might convert to full roadie after this race. Bigboulder, bring some hard liquor. Brew ain't gonna warm you up enough.

LOL! No way....well maybe ...I hate cold weather. I don;t care about wet & muddy, but cold , wet, muddy FOCK!

You poor bastards.

Nary a drop in Folsom so far. Did a nice lunchtime roadie ride on the American River bike trail and was warm enough with a long sleeve jersey.

But can you get real muddy & wet with a race number on your bike and suffer in redding??? Come to think if it, I have done that in redding. Come on Ron, I'll buy you all you can eat at In & Out burger after the race!!

I thought I was the only one who was cheap and didn't run the heaters. Are you using all the electricity to keep the MTBR servers running?

Hopefully it isn't too cold for the commute home.

That's a great offer and much less expensive than all the beer I can drink after the race If I wimp out at least the trail organization will still benefit since I'm prereg'd. I'll decide tomorrow afternoon when I get the call from my buddy who is preriding the course. How's that for sitting on the fence

Hey man, you have a reputation to keep up. The guy who designed the hardcore MTB race in Whiskeytown is whimping out becasue he does not want to get cold and dirty??? Does'nt look good.

 

[Dan'ger]

You poor bastards.

Lay it on me! Snow, mud, rain, whatever! I'm racing on Sunday!

I draw the line at nearby lightning strikes. No riding in the ozone.

 

[LemurianGuy]

Its snowing in Redding again If I do show up I'll have some free 2005 Lemurian shirts to give away, look me up up, I'll be wearing a sweatshirt, er, better make that a snowsuit with this logo!

Francois, Sunday would be a really good day to test out that beautiful brand new Niner you've got!

 

[carnitas]

ummmmm yeah ....

just flakes starting to flitter by,
light little ones that don't yet stick.
As the sun goes down though I bet it will be a different story.

Come on now.......

Well I guess all the girlie men can go down and race the TBF race with Gary (AKA F.P)....... since it looks like he is a DNS.

This is, and always will be a hard core race, only the tough come out and do this to themselves. Most everyone has a smile on their face at the end, maybe that's because it's over

It is snowing here in Foresthill, elev. 2800' . If it does snow on the course it will only add to the epic nature. We will have two large forced air propane heaters, don't get too close, I think Lycra is pretty flammable.

Supposed to be clear on Sunday.

Come on Lemurian Guy, I've done your race in the snow and at 105 degress, with what seemed like a 110 degree tail wind, on a tandem nontheless, what's a little cold and water.......... oh, Ice I guess.

 

[Bikinfoolferlife]

The conditions in Cool should be old time Lemurian-like (why do you think Ron moved the Lemurian forward a coupla weeks from the old days...that tax season stuff is just a bluff ).

 

[Finch Platte]

It "snowed" here today.

In Stocktontucky! 60-70 feet above sea level!!

The run you guys did down the Lemurian Chute on your tandem in the pre-disc brake days is the stuff of legends. Honestly, we were just talking about you guys the other day and wondered what had become of you. Now I know, you've joined the ranks of the evil, sadistic race dictators, I mean directors. Welcome to the club!

We will have two large forced air propane heaters, don't get too close,.

Especially after I down my Endurox after the race, lots of gas
Hey can if I bring one of those BOB trailers can I bring the heaters on the course with me to keep me warm??
