Great Mount Rose Loop Race ‘08

August 10, 2008
6:00 amto8:30 am

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.
Mt. Rose Loop
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…

Cascade Cream Puff Drop-outs

If you’re going to be in the Cascade Cream Puff Zone this weekend look me up. TBS Rider TheRestlessApe dislocated his shoulder and can’t ride. This is after I hurt my knee and couldn’t ride. So post a comment if you are tall skinny and look like an ape and want to try to take his spot!

Three passes ride sunday

April 6, 2008

Tour de FatWhile Nooner and the McDeez R rocking Downieville and The Yuba, Barrett and I are planning on riding Geiger, Spooner and Mt. Rose on the road. Sound’s fucking miserable if you ask me. But it also sounds like it might be helpful if I plan to not suckdonkeyballs @ the Cascade Cream Puff in June. You never know…

I know Gris had mentioned wanting to do this ride. So if you think you can ride slow enough, please join us!

Both mythic creatures known for cunning, speed and mystery. I’ll need to harness some kind of mythic power for 24 hours in the old pueblo, cause i certainly am not feeling it within.
Got my niterider flight just in time thanks to Pyrofloptic. Rolling down with nooner and gris in the am. Check back for notes, pics and video from the road.

The sticky face of tbs

My fellow baconians! It is time to produce another sticker for distribution as the face of the bacon strip! This design is taken from the U.S. Highway 395 sign. Modified a tad to make it fit on a single square… We have two designs to choose from. I welcome your input. Please post a comment for your choice for design A or design B. This will be for stickers, a banner for the side of the bacon buss for our race @ 24 hours of the old pueblo. and possibly T-Shirts.

Since these are for everyone, everyone can and should vote. The fonts are Simian Text, Arial Black and Texas Funeral (bitches!).

Design A:

TBS_sign_2 "design A"

Design B:

TBS banner and sticker "Design B"
