Great Mount Rose Loop Race ‘08
It’s that time of the year again folks. Time to shake the sand out of your vaginas and slather on the chammois butter for the Second Annual Great Mount Rose Loop Race.
Second Place Finisher in GMRLR07 VNasty is race coordinator for the year and here’s what she has to say:
OK. Sunday, August 10th @ 6:00 AM @ Brick Park, Reno, NV it is…and don’t even start with that I might not finish sh-t, we won’t get pass my house on Geriatric Pubic Hair Street with that attitude. I’m CCing Turner on this one. He might be into a longer ride like this? I’m trying to enlist a friend of mine from Truckee to join us. She’s a bad ass and is really hot as well-a fine carrot to chase down come hour number 10. If Dansmella wants to come up to the house for lunch that day she’s more than welcome. Smitty has agreed to be available for massages and lemonade delivery (not sure if that applies to you too?) I have only one small route deviation to suggest from last year now that I know the Sawtooth Trail system better. It’ll be a cleaner ride to 06/Northstar.
The route is over 100 miles and a shit ton of climbing. Other route mods might include riding to Martis Peak and down into Kings Beach on fire roads. Includes: Henness Pass, Emigrant Trail, Sawtoothe Trail, Tahoe Rim Trail (watson to brockway), Sky Tavern, Galena Creek, White’s Creek, Thomas Creek, Bartley Ranch…
Sounds like fun. Too bad I’ll be in Leadville, CO that morning, trying to walk straight after hopefully having finished my 8th Leadville 100 the day before. Enjoy. I’ll be thinking of you…

sounds fun! i think that weekend is free and clear. if so, and Team Harper can get a kp, i’d like to give it a try.
say… any interest in riding up Garson Grade, down Bronco Ck to Hirshdale, then up to Martis Pk from the Shire and on with it from there? could be spicey! actually, i don’t think it’d be much harder than riding Dog V Rd to Stampeede etc. it’d definitely be adventure since it’s new. either way, sounds great.
lemonade? isn’t that like a Brittany?
Uhhhhh, I believe that’s 6:00am to 8:30pm.
Weird, I can’t make it change. Either way, It’ll kick ASS!
Good luck at that [sissy] race in Colorado LowCO2. I hope you win a belt buckle that matches your shoes!

2 months after getting hit and i’ve done a couple of trail rides and actually went running today. i’m a bit out of shape, but willing to give the loop ride a chance. gotta see how things work out with the new babe and mom that’s eager to get out too.
