Okay found out some info today about a race that I had forgot about, so let me pass it on. The River Side race is the Sunday after Thanksgiving, 11/28/04 as it has been posted on here. Now I just picked up the flyer for this race today. The race is a Iron Man race, 100 miles!!!!!!!!!! I just got a call tonight from a friend who wants to race. I think I will go for it and see how well I do. I figure if I just finish I will be doing great. The loop is just a hair over 10 miles, spent the day riding the loop. It's not that bad at all, think it will get worse on race day due to the way the race is being done. Quads will be racing on Saturday and bikes on Sunday. But some of the course, about 3 miles is just for the bikes on Sunday. If anyone is interested in the team event let me know, I may be looking for a partner in crime on this one. Keep in mind I am "SLOW", but I can at least finish though.
The fee to race is $25 and the race starts at noon on Sunday. They have classes for all, but I found out that alot of folks ride the team event. So are there any takers on coming this way to ride the race??? If so here is the web site to go check out the info,
www.rfgp.com Sorry to bug out on the Draper ride that weekend, since I was the one to post it....sorry But I'm not sure it would be wise to ride Draper then come back Sunday to do this long race. I'm not 20 anymore...lol I think I will ride the course again the Friday before the race, then rest on Saturday.
Now as for a two day ride, looks like I will get to do that this coming week. Derek and I have been talking about riding this next Saturday at the 500. I just got off the phone with Mike Ward, some of you met him when we rode at Draper Labor day weekend. Great guy, he just finished up riding the Black Jack enduro's. Think we plan on getting a room and riding two days. So if anyone would like to ride with us it would be great to see you all again. We plan on meeting at the 500 around 10am Saturday, 11/20/04. Derek said he should be back around that time. If anyone would care to stick around Saturday night we plan on finding a good place to eat and see who can tell the biggest lies. Maybe Derek or Craig can point us in the right direction about a place to eat.
Hope to see everyone there, have a good week. And Swift, get well soon won't be the same without you. Mike said he wanted a chance to ride with you since he didn't get a chance last time. Thanks.........Lee
