Slow fat guys doing the triple crown

[Rat]

So Myself and a bro are doing the triple crown this year, Im hoping to recruit some other slobs to do a big group ride. were talking about slow old guys taking thier time and having fun. Planning on stashing some cold beers at key "carb loading" points. Carngage and leg cramps guaranteed

Im in for sure, let me know if I can bring any Liquid Carb :)

[trout]

What's the date on this?

[Silk]

What's the date on this?

July 9th, 9:00 am

[Neo]

oooh i could be in to that!

[Zedbra]

If they are stella's you may be able to count me in. Might have a race ending injury closest to the largest stash, mind you....

[Rat]

we could hang a stella off a pole and mount it to your helmet for motivation.


we could also drop a car at the bottom of executioner for those who bail out early. you could then drive said car over to Cypress and heckle us with a megaphone for motivational purposes.

reality is that im thinking this badboy is going to clock in at somewhere around the 8 hour mark. Stops for lunch, beers ext...ext. I have to decide it I should ride the heckler or clip in to the old rigid stumpjumper.

[Neo]

oh i'll be riding steel ht. not sure about full rigid but i'll have that option by then. :)

I think I will want to be on a hardtail as well, I just can not see riding a Big Hit that distance that time of year.

I can stash the Cooler full of ice and everyones favourite beverage the night before on Fromme when I walk the dog :)

[TheGiggler]

rat, 8 hours would be VERY fast for all three mtns.

i'm thinking more like 10-12+ ...

[Ned]

rat, 8 hours would be VERY fast for all three mtns.

i'm thinking more like 10-12+ ...

I concur.

Never know, might be around for the ride if the body is feeling good and I'm not banging nails or pouring concrete up in la-la land. And definitely no interest in riding with self-important hormone's who think this event is the qualifier for the Olympics and train for it obsessively while their kid's diaper is full of sh!t and needing to be changed.

[Rat]

mabey im being optomistic on that

1.5 to the top of CBC
CBC Neds Bottle top 45 minutes
Climb to the yellow gate 45 minutes
Eat lunch 30 Minutes
Climb to the sixth switchback 45 minutes
Executioner 30 Minutes
ride over to millstream 1 hour
Miillstream and up to lot 5 1 hour
Drink beer eat food 30 minutes
Myster DH/ Stupid Grouse 45 minutes
21st back to Dizzy 45 Minutes

= 8.25 hours


mabey its wishfull thinking but I think we should bag it in under 10 hours at the very worst

oh and I used a mileage program I have and I estimate the ride at about 75 KM's

[APT]

Gee, I think after the first lunch, I'm probably done for the day. Is this like a team event or something?

[TheGiggler]

rat, that's a very good estimate. but to make those times you'd need to really keep the hammer down and not slack at all, especially on mtns 2 and 3.

it's doable, but realistically i expect it to be 10+, 'cause you don't want to blow your wad before the DH...

[Knight-Rider]

^^I agree.....I'm thinking about 10-12 hours, as we probably wont be hamering on the downhill courses. At least not me. I don't want to break my XC bike before the race is over, or else it will be me shouting in the megaphone on cypress. Since we are about as far away from being pro XC racers, I think the main goal should be to have fun, and maybe a good story to tell around the campfire.

Rat.....you know where the campfire is going to be.

[Silk]

oh and I used a mileage program I have and I estimate the ride at about 75 KM's

75km on some of the best trails in the world...... this will be a good day!

[Rat]

actually probably 10 k of the best trails of the world and 65 k of nasty climbing

PoserNewb you should come out, even if you dont do the whole tour. Its all good.

[sleeper72]

I'm relatively old and getting fatter by the day, so this is tempting. Can anyone estimate how much elevation gain all the climbing will add up to? I'd guess somewhere around 10,000ft.

[Pablo]

Don't get tempted by the title, (Slow fat guys doing the triple crown) Rat is a pretty fit, young and able to ride for hours. :)

[APT]

I was thinking about the same thing.

[Rat]

bah thats crap, you two need to ride up a little more often thats all. Shuttlewhores.

[APT]

We can't. We're just a bunch of wannabees who have weak climbing legs.

[ride24/7]

I'm not sure but if i am going to be here in town that weekend i'd be down for the fat old guy, liquid carb, heckle rat :announce: , ride until cramping sets in kinda day. 8)


except i'll have to carbo load a fair bit to qualify on the fat part... Mmmmm beer
:drool:
I've got my old P3 frame ste up with 3 rings and a 4" fork for commuting, all it needs is a tire change and it'll be perfect.

[Knight-Rider]

bah thats crap, you two need to ride up a little more often thats all. Shuttlewhores.


Agreed. You should do fromme with us more. That mountain has been treating us pretty well this past while. If you are gonna shuttle, shuttle eagle. :P

[RITALIN]

sounds fun

[Rat]

slow fat guys doing the triplecrown is now stepping it up a notch with addition of a full support vehichle full of beer. I think a pony Keg might get a little foamy so we might have to stick with cans.(shotgun) There is also talk of hiring the waitress from raglans to drive the truck while wearing a skimpy outfit.

[Zedbra]

I may have to guard the truck after Seymour.... its a rough world we live in

[brahms]

OK Rat, I'm in.
btw, what is the date of this event? so I can prep my training schedule. (ie heavy days 3-4 shotguns followed by recovery day 1 shotgun, so on and so forth)

[ride24/7]

So where do i sign up and how much do i pony up for carbs and support crew?. 8)

[Rat]

I think its july 9th. Ill have to double check. well split the beer bill when we figure out how many old fat guys are acutally showing up. In reality the cans make for a more logical item but really the thought of a hottie serving up draft out of the back of a truck with a keg just seems like the right thing to do.

Im open for input on this. Brahms you make a good point about the shotguns, they have been proven to increase performance by 25%.

I think were going to strap a full size bbq down in the bed of the truck as well to really give a nice look to the whole thing. Mabey some flags and whirligigs as well.

[Rat]

Also If anyone knows where we can get are hand on a megaphone I think it could come in really handy

[Uncle Duke]

if brahms is in so am I .. team old fat guys from langdale baby.

[Knight-Rider]

if brahms is in so am I .. team old fat guys from langdale baby.


the problem is duke, that although you may be old, you are anything but slow and fat. I think you should have to do it with a keg strapped to your back. That way if I need to carb up mid-trail, I wont have far to look. 8)

I'll make sure that the support truck has some veggie burgers for you

[Uncle Duke]

lol.

yea right ..im attaching the keg to you and rat.

vege burgers yeaaaaaaaaa.

[Rat]

I have the chariot trailer we can strap to dukes bike with the keg. actually 24/7 is a climbing goat as well so they can take turns.

Some of you kids who dont want to go the whole way, sharon suggested you can team up and play a poker hand as well.

What do you guys think about mounting some speakers to the roof and Playing eye of the tiger on some of the more difficult climbs.

[Uncle Duke]

im going for a training lap right now...


*scratches head,cracks steinlager , looks for bic.*

[Uncle Duke]

play some trooper...

[Uncle Duke]

anna just confirmed as a support vehicle.

[Knight-Rider]

im going for a training lap right now...


*scratches head,cracks steinlager , looks for bic.*


mmmmmm Steinlager.....you know duke, I like you more and more everytime I talk to you. That is my beer, like Zebra is to Stella

who'd a thunk it that a great beer like that could come from new zealand

[synchro]

What do you guys think about mounting some speakers to the roof and Playing eye of the tiger on some of the more difficult climbs.

i have a plan for that - if you don't mind me tagging along.

edit

i'm sure somewhere along the way i'll have to stop and bleed my brakes tho...

[APT]

Are you sure you dont have to rebuild the whole bike?

[Zedbra]

cuz its, eye of the tiger.....


yaes. definitely

[synchro]

Are you sure you dont have to rebuild the whole bike?

i'm just gonna get me one of them fancy folding bikes and put it in my pack just in case.

[Rat]

Actually do the fact that we have a complete support vehichle, i think ill just toss my Rigid stupjumper in the back in case anyone has a serious brakdown well have a spare ride. Also a few folks have said they have no plans on actually finishing so there should be some spare bikes floating around for ya splinky.

I really think we need to have a debate over this whole cans vs Keg situation. this is serious shit kids.

first question - Can we even get a pony keg of Stella?

[Zedbra]

VERY important decision Rat, I do agree with you. If it's possible, it shall happen. Drink Stella we will, yes.

[ride24/7]

I have the chariot trailer we can strap to dukes bike with the keg. actually 24/7 is a climbing goat as well so they can take turns.

Well I hate to admit it, but my wife has a copy of " eye of the tiger " on casset so if the support truck is old school enough we got that covered 8)

and if I'm going to be draggin' a trailer load o' liquid carbs it better have a hose long enough to reach my mouth attached to it.

personally I'm in favor of some can shotgunning myself though, a definite performance enhancer. :dead:

[brahms]

cans are mandatory for shotguns, however, some sort of beer bong helmet attachment could be workable for the keg. we be like fighter jets in mid flight refuel..definitely cool

[EndoKing]

You guys mind one more? Duke was doing a little convincing in the Huckwagon this weekend & it sounds like fun. I'm not old or fat, but I'm lazy & like beer...
Sounds like my kind of "race".

[Uncle Duke]

well you arent old anyways.....










hehehehe

[EndoKing]

well you arent old anyways.....










hehehehe

hey, that hurts... it's glandular...

[Rat]

the more the better we just need a positive head count for booze consumption calculations.

Also there are talks of getting some jersey's printed up.....

[trout]

Count me in as a definite maybe...

[Zedbra]

trout, you aren't slow. I guess you could keep doing ice runs for us, that would be cool.

[Knight-Rider]

I say that any sandbaggers that are in our group has to tow me up fromme and cypress 8)

[trout]

Zed only thinks I'm fast because he's always drunk when we ride. :drunk:

[EndoKing]

the more the better we just need a positive head count for booze consumption calculations.

Also there are talks of getting some jersey's printed up.....

Alright, count me in. Nothing like an all-day nightmare of booze & exercise.

[Uncle Duke]

okay it took me 2 days to figutre out IMG is turned off in this thread...bummer as I wanted to display my filled out registration form :rocker:...

[EndoKing]

okay it took me 2 days to figutre out IMG is turned off in this thread...bummer as I wanted to display my filled out registration form :rocker:...

you're a different kind of slow

[Uncle Duke]

my feelings...... :cry:

[Knight-Rider]

I couldn't help but notice that the old fat slow guys are planning on riding trails most of the way, and the fast slim guys are talking about doing it on a road bike. My favorite part was the one about shuttling seymour and cypress. I guess the fun part got lost in that group. This ride is seriously going to kill me, but it makes a great adventure, and story to tell around a pitcher or 2.

[Zedbra]

A keg Dave. Respect the keg.

My legs are gonna fall off but my tongue will be wet

[Uncle Duke]

to finish is my goal.

[AnTi-TrAiL_nAzI]

to finish is my goal.
duke you arnt fat, get outta here!!! :cry:

[Uncle Duke]

im old and slow tho........

[AnTi-TrAiL_nAzI]

im old and slow tho........
were in the title dose it say, old? i only see fat and slow..

the only way i could do the triple crown was if they alotted 3 days, gave me car keys a car, and the key to the gate on fromme.

[Knight-Rider]

A keg Dave. Respect the keg.

My legs are gonna fall off but my tongue will be wet

You know I'll be respecting the keg/cans/bottles whatever. That will be the only thing keeping me going. But as Duke said, my goal is to finish. If I can pull this one off, it will be one of "those rides you never forget" having some good friends along will make it all the better, so you'd better not get gooned at the top of seymour :nono:

[Uncle Duke]

You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.





you guys arent serious about the kegs are you?



Im thinking mixed drinks.

[Rat]

I think a pony keg is a go as long as we can get stella.

[taprider]

I couldn't help but notice that the old fat slow guys are planning on riding trails most of the way, and the fast slim guys are talking about doing it on a road bike. .

NO. The first old fast slim guy proposed Old Buck, the illegal climb parallel to the road to the Mushroom Parking Lot, pavement to CBC. CBC Neds Bottle Top Twin Bridge, middle bridge, Kings's Crawl, Roadside, Fromme Road, with short cut between 4 and 5th. 7th and Lower Oil Can or just short cut down Executioner, BP, SkyLine to urban backyard trails along MacKay Creek to Dam, portions of BP, Millstream, road to 3rd switchback, BLT then some illegal trail back to Millstream (or some super secret illegal trail to Horse Shoe Bay, and urban trails back to Dizzy. But to be a "real" Triple Crown you should have to go up to Grouse (not just part way up Fromme).

[Rat]

Jet Boy / Jet Girl would give you good fromme bragging rights.

and there is no way I have the snap in my legs to be getting to creative on the routing espessially on cypress. if you get your rocks off riding it on the road bike than good on ya as long as your smiling at the end of the day I dont care.

[Silk]

I think a pony keg is a go as long as we can get stella.


Let me know of the route we will be taking once we get to the top of Fromme
and I will stash a small cooler on the down trails with a nice batch beer.

I can stash the night before :)

[Uncle Duke]

rat,that brake is sold..

[AnTi-TrAiL_nAzI]

Jet Boy / Jet Girl would give you good fromme bragging rights.


i thought those trails were pretty damn secret? your post may be giving out to much info, or i just may have my head up my ass...

[Rat]

try to find it.

[taprider]

try to find it.

yeah :agree:
mwah ha ha ha! :dizzy:

[EndoKing]

This is looking toight. I think I might've added one more today. He'll undoubtedly be on the sweetest bike there. The Deaner rides again, complete with 10-yr old 2.5" Manitou fork. Balls to the walls.

Cans are good. Shotguns. Kegs are better if we have a beer-bong. I'm training hard.

[parts]

I think a pony keg is a go as long as we can get stella.

Stella 30L Keg is $142.69.
Beer for BC is the company to get it through @ 778-773-3036.
stock # 492868

[Rat]

Nice work Parts I think were a done deal on the keg

we can get some king cans of wildcat for the sunshine coast boys

[Pablo]

You think 1 - 30L Keg of Stella is enough? :)

[Silk]

You think 1 - 30L Keg of Stella is enough? :)

um, yeah I would say thats more than enough.... I doubt that would get finished, you would need 20 people just sitting around drinking and I dont think the Tripple crown would get finished :)

[Rat]

youve never seen Zedbra put back the Stella

[ride24/7]

Oh My God! I predict one of the all time worst hangover days ever in the making. Triple crown for aching body, a keg o beer the add the gut wrenching nausia and a hot july day to REALY dehydrate you so that headache will be of migaine status. :dead:


Count me in for sure :agree:

[Zedbra]

youve never seen Zedbra put back the Stella

And not ashamed either.

Good call on the Wildcat. Maybe 2 fruity drinks foir bunny and she'll be out

[synchro]

And not ashamed either.

Good call on the Wildcat. Maybe 2 fruity drinks foir bunny and she'll be out

whaqt about my fruity drinks?

[Zedbra]

whaqt about my fruity drinks?

oh ya, bring 2 more for synchro and he'll be out, too

[bunny]

And not ashamed either.

Good call on the Wildcat. Maybe 2 fruity drinks foir bunny and she'll be out

i was actually going to ask if i'm allowed on a fat slow men ride but thought better of it. fruity drinks and jet boy/girl i'll do for sure. :)

[Zedbra]

excellent

[Rat]

Im sure we could get a blender set up going as well

[bunny]

wooptydoo!
now i just need a bike. someone want to loan me one? :)

[EndoKing]

Im sure we could get a blender set up going as well

I've seen pedal-powered blenders. Maybe we could get one of those?

[EndoKing]

Crap! I'm having issues trying to decide what bike I should be riding for this. I've got an '02 RM Stratos or my Bullit. I'm thinking the Bullit will be too much for the in-between mountain riding, but that the Stratos won't be enough for the down the mountain riding.

What trails will we be hitting & what will everyone be riding?

[AnTi-TrAiL_nAzI]

be a man, ride the bullit :D

[Silk]

I also am having to decide, ether the Big Hit or the Cove Stiffy

If everyone rides big rigs then I will, I just dont to be holding everyone up.

[Rat]

Go light, the dowhill trails are rideable on any bike.

for a frame of reference I was thinking of taking my circa 1996 rigid stumpjumper with 1.5 slicks.

[ride24/7]

I'm planning on going light myself. Either P.3 with 1.9 tires and 4" fork, or if i get energetic swap all the parts over to my 01 enduro frame and use that. either way it'll be 30 lbs +/- and 4" of travel. I'll happily sacrifice a little speed on the decents for a bike that will pedal well on the climbs.

[Knight-Rider]

I say go light. I'll be doing it on my rm instinct. not exactly the most fun bike for the downhill parts, but can make it down in one piece. That way I won't be too bad on the climbs.

[Uncle Duke]

really eh you guysa re riding hard tails? what will you be wearing...?

I need to soup up my hard tail then...rat buddie I need that brake..I also need a front whl disc compatible for a regular QR anybody...

I was going to ride the 4x and pull some moves in the dh ,, but total lonliness in the climb would be a drag.

[Uncle Duke]

I will be on my '92 kona hei hei w a 3.5" marz fork then...the ti race bike rides again...:thepimp:

[Rat]

Actually I think Ill ride my Heckler with 2.1 tires on her, the old stumpjumper has seen better days. its not to bad of a bike to pedal.

The Brake is just waiting for ya duke.

[Uncle Duke]

im back on the 4x!!

[bunny]

i was thinking it might be worth a good prize if rode on alicia's little specialized. 20" wheels and about 1" of travel. oh... and 6 speeds! i figure it can't be that much different than a trials bike?
other plan is to borrow a couple. i've never climbed seymour/cypress and haven't ridden since last fall so i think it would be far from cheating to have one for going up and one for down.

[Rat]

Were not going to be packing a set of extra knees bunny.

[Lady Gravity]

you need someone to guard the beer right? that and take pics of you guys riding cypress on ht's with 2" forks :lol: sounds like a job for me :D

[Rat]

why dont you and bunny tag team it. one person rides and the other drives. switch it up as much as you like.

[Zedbra]

I'll be on the HT with 2" of travel. Rat - bring the chariot, I'll drag some brews up the first mountain.

bunny - you can borrow my Brodie HT. You will owe me incredible amounts of money for the rest of your life, but we can discxuss this afterwards

[Lady Gravity]

[Wayne P]

I wish I had a cross country bike right now. I'm doing it on my road bike with CC tires. Ouch.

[bunny]

why dont you and bunny tag team it. one person rides and the other drives. switch it up as much as you like.

won't work. no drinking and driving. :P

thanks zed. i have a ht now... i'm still looking for a dually for the dh though. :)

[Lady Gravity]

won't work. no drinking and driving. :P

thanks zed. i have a ht now... i'm still looking for a dually for the dh though. :)

i dont think you can switch bikes :rolleyes:

[bunny]

you silly if we can jump in and out of a truck with umbrella drinks and get towed up fromme by a tractor i think i'ts ok to change bikes. :P
and zed i meant i already have a ht. but thanks for the offer. you're great. :)

[Lady Gravity]

you silly if we can jump in and out of a truck with umbrella drinks and get towed up fromme by a tractor i think i'ts ok to change bikes. :P

yeah but if we're getting towed up then you wont need 2 bikes, right? i like the idea of the umbrella drinks though - are you bringing your blender? and did you ever get my lunchbag from putty's? :mad:

[amg]

I wish I had a cross country bike right now. I'm doing it on my road bike with CC tires. Ouch.

That's because I have your xc bike now...I finally got it built up, get to ride it today for the first time. :agree:

Maybe I'll try this Triple Crown thing, if only to see the slow fat guy support vehicle! The mental image I have is kind of like when the ice cream truck cruises the neighbourhood.

Picture it: the vehicle chugs slowly up the mountain. Suddenly the nostalgic strains of "Eye of the Tiger" float out over the hills...from the trees, mountain bikers come running, tossing down their bikes, to cluster around the vehicle..."Do you have any Stella?", "Can I have a purple striped umbrella in my girly drink?" and "Hey, LG took the last one!"...;)

tomorrow I will be in the big smoke and I am riding up old buck etc to cbc on my big bike getting ready for the triple crown..endoking was going to join me but the temptation of whisstla has proven to great (fancy nancy).

I will be at the bottom of the old buck at 10 am and wearing a pink tu tu.

Id love to join you but Im going fishing this weekend with the old man

Well, I might not make it to Whistler, but I'm still not sure about being anywhere at 10 AM on a Saturday. It just seems unlikely. Why so early?

Which one? Chameleon? FSR? Rat has my Heckler, so it must be one of the first two.

I did part of the ride today on my road bike from my place in Lynn Valley over to the top of Cypress. I don't think I can survive 3 mountains in one day.

from fast thin guys thread...

Looks like a cyclocross or modded road bike will be allowed. Starts at 9, finishes at 5.


now Im def going to have to ride my HT and just run some sections in the DH just to try and get in by 5 pm....

[EndoKing]

now Im def going to have to ride my HT and just run some sections in the DH just to try and get in by 5 pm....

yes. Ride your HeiHei. It's gonna be hot. I'm thinking of dusting off the full rigid Blizzard. I wonder how those Syncros forks will hold up...

[Pablo]

(Team Shuttle Whore) Jerseys available Friday July 8th. $25.00 to cover cost. Anyone wanting to join us for the ride July 9th and wish to purchase a Jersey, PM me. Our requirements are that you must climb and ride down with the same bike. Our goal is to finish the Ripper alive!

[Rat]

Lets get a full role call so we can start getting the beer and food order together. Anyone who said there were going to do it and backs out now is a weak ticket. Also if people dont want to ride the full thing and want to do a team of two lets get that organized as well.

Too far away for this fat bastard, more beer for zed, good luck fellas!

Greg is riding it on his full on DH bike. nothing like pedaling 18 inches of travel uphill

[synchro]

Lets get a full role call so we can start getting the beer and food order together. Anyone who said there were going to do it and backs out now is a weak ticket. Also if people dont want to ride the full thing and want to do a team of two lets get that organized as well.

wish i could be there but i'll be gone for four days on workshop/seminar thing starting this fri - call me weak if you must but i think you know my situation

[Wayne P]

Let us know the scoop James! I'm probably going to do this one, but I'm unsure as to whether or not I do it on my ghetto "cyclo-cross" bike or my wife's XC bike. Gotta wait for the check points I guess.

Scratch me. I broke my wrist a couple weeks ago. Pretty choked, I was really looking forward to this.
I was considering driving a support vehicle (if necessary), but I'm probly gonna go visit my sister & hit the Stampede instead. Yee-Haw!!

Have a great time, guys!

[ride24/7]

Well I'm going to be out of town that weekend... more beer for you boys to enjoy. I really wanted to do this but it looks like I'll have to wait til next year. Shit, shit, shit. :cry: :censored: :swearing:

[synchro]

bwahhahaha - we're fleeing like rats from a sinking ship

[pete]

I'm in jarrett.

[Uncle Duke]

yea Im a scratch for this event.

I dont think I could have made the 5 pm cut off.

Im sure it'll be fun for all, good luck boys.

[Rat]

Duke - Splinky - Al = weak ticket.


I doubt any of us will make the cut off.

[Uncle Duke]

heheheheh ,I can live w that.

yea, If I wasnt going to make the cutoff not much interest..pretty pricey day for me actually ferries, hotel,race fees etc,. just too damn busy this time of yr, also never got my hard tail built up as needed.. I was into it but a 5 pm cutoff took the FUN out of it for me.

again have a good ride , I will drink beers that day and play croquet ..

[pete]

bah. why do you need a hotel? Some one can put you up for the night.

[APT]

One solution: SHUTTLE
You'll make the cut off with plenty of time to spare.

[Wayne P]

Shuttle? Weak!

On a related note, does anyone know if you are allowed to take bikes DOWN the tram on Grouse? I figure that's a good place to go for a lunch break.

[Rat]

you going to ride a leg of it posernewb? you could team up with someone and do a half lap. the do some shuttles for fun.

Ill talk to james about the cutoff but Ill lbet we still get to play our cards.

duke you and Gary can crash at my house. he has a car on the horseshoe bay side so its only walk on fees

[APT]

I know shuttling is weak for this event and kinda beat the purpose. I just thought its funny that people are dropping like flys as soon as date is getting closer.

I am still in, let me know if you need anything on my end in the form of food/beer.

A few months back everyone was talking big saying they will do the whole race. I hope this still holds true as thats my plan.

Its the Tripple Crown.... not the "whore shore day" I think this will be a great day and big points for the people who do the whole thing solo.....

[Wayne P]

I'm riding the whole damn thing with Bryon Enns. He'll be on his '82 Bianchi and I'll be sportin' the wife's Trek Fuel 100. I hope to finish...

To answer my question, you are not allowed to take a bike down the tram. Sons-of-bitches.

what if it's foldable?? I think you should do it on a foldable bike!

If you look way back on this thread you'll see that I origionally said i might be out of town... thought i could get out of it but turns out not.




That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. 8)

Awsome! good on ya

So here is a question for everyone because I am having trouble to decide

what type of armor/helmet will everyone have. I was thinking ot leave the full face and full body armor home and just wear my regular xc helmet with a pair of shin gaurds.

[Rat]

Tight Spandex one peice singlet for me.

[Pablo]

XC Helmet and Knee/Shin guards for me.

[Pablo]

rat, are you riding your Heckler?

[Rat]

yup im riding the heckler with 2.1's no pads

[Zedbra]

omg omg... should I shave or wax the legs? help.

[Rat]

Bikini wax for the thong would be nice. Also if I were you Id tatoo my nipples.

[Wayne P]

Armour?? Full Face?? Its a cross country ride!

[Zedbra]

Bikini wax for the thong would be nice. Also if I were you Id tatoo my nipples.

nipples, eh? check.

I'm gonna bring my fullface just to head butt Wayne P hehe

[Silk]

Armour?? Full Face?? Its a cross country ride!

so sorry if it was a dumb question :)

I have never been on Seymour or Cypress, only fromme

[Lady Gravity]

i love it when guys are talking about what to wear :lol:
everyone's wearing spandex, right.....

[Silk]

i love it when guys are talking about what to wear :lol:

well we all do have to make sure no one is wearing the same outfit....

[pete]

I'm wearing spandex, left elbow pad, left knee pad, left glove (lost the other) and a helmet!

[TheGiggler]

Armour?? Full Face?? Its a cross country ride!


damn straight. the extra 3 pounds of weight from FF and armor would kill you. plus, in the race who has time to put the shit on at the top and take it off at the bottom? :stupid:


real question for me is Heckler or HT... easy or hard...

[Rat]

RE - Beer Logistics. it has been brought to my attention that driving around with a taped Keg may not be a great Idea from a Open Liquor ticket / Foaming point of view so we may have to move to cans

SHOTGUN

[LeeLau]

Im just going to match colors

[Zedbra]

I may be able to borrow a battery powered blender. Cuervo, ice, lime - for the extra carbs to make the Fromme climb

[Putty]

omg omg... should I shave or wax the legs? help.

ive seen your legs, you should probably do both.

:cry:

[Smoke]

omg omg... should I shave or wax the legs? help.

That's not important right now...the real question is:

"How far up should you shave?"

[bunny]

That's not important right now...the real question is:

this is especially important since you guys may have to show us for extra cards. :P

this sounds like a bad tupperware party line....do tell, Mr Smoke, DO TELL

[connor]

hmm.. 3hrs from Old Buck, up to CBC, and then over to the Watertower. seems a little suspect if you want to have any fun.. I think my GF and I might be "cheating" a bit.. We'll be the ones wondering what we got ourselves into.

[pete]

uhh ohhh. how can we ride cbc if its pouring outside? that would be bad for the trail and set a bad example!

[LeeLau]

I hope it wont be raining tomorrow! i did hike CBC on wednesday and clear out drains and it was in great shape. Will be breaking out the classic jerseys there

its actually quite easy, Neds -> Bottletop -> up Twin Bridges -> through LSCR to Lynn Valley -> Dempsey -> up to the water towers.

[Rat]

3 hours is going to be tough for the slow fat guys like us. Perhaps we should start earlier ? Last night I shuttled up to CBC and rode over to Ladies the water towers took us two hours although we hit TNT/Dirty Diapers on the way down. I was also just riding with one other guys and we were moving quite fast for the old fat guys not to mention being pretty fresh from not Climbing up to CBC. we definatly wont make it up to CBC in under and hour and half.

[Wayne P]

Lee, are we talking full piece spandie trials suit here?

[Smoke]

this sounds like a bad tupperware party line....do tell, Mr Smoke, DO TELL

All the way, buddy.......ALL the way.

[LeeLau]

Lee, are we talking full piece spandie trials suit here?

No - pretty hideous neon colors but my Monty trials one piece suit is with a buddy on the island. I will have bib shorts though

I was up until 2:00 am building up one of my old hardtail frames so I would not have to do this on the big hit.

It is going to be a blast!

Let us know how much cash you want so you dont end up paying for all this.

[Rat]

we can sort the cash out later but my plan is to buy 100 beer and the food, the total should be less than 20 bucks a peice. Also Paul has had DH jerseys printed up and have been partialyt paid for by one of his china suppliers. I think the Bill is 25 bucks for one of these babies, pretty cheap for a decent jersey. ( I know im going to get a couple)

we have a very generous Cook/Driver by the name of Chee who will be handing out the supplys, I will bring a couple gatorade for everyone as well the truck will have water and tools with it, as well as my rigid stumpjumper for any unforseen mechanical problems. scince the weather is supposed to be the shits and we will have our truck with us I think its a good idea to pack a couple extra Jerseys/chamois/ jackets /gloves with ya as well as your change of cloths for the afterparty . please bring all your extra crap in a bag of some sort so were not pillaging through piles of cloths during the day.

[Pablo]

Rat, thanks for all the time and prep you are putting to organize this Team Shuttlewhore also known as (Slow fat guys doing the triple crown)

Now, I just hope I can finish it. Could not find a single crown fork so will be riding with my Dorado but with XC tires.

We can do like they did in the western days when the horse got tired and do a switch off...

If your feeling tired just give a shout out and I will switch bikes with you until you get your legs back

I will be on a nice light hard tail so It would only seem fair to share and make sure we all finish.

Dave has the twin powers of the snake and the dragon that are tatooed on his tits. special mystic powers that are enhanced by the power that he keeps locked up inside a little orange plastic case he carries around with him.

OK Im not feeling alot of love for salmon so i Guess well go for good alberta beef. Any feedback on this kids.

Also does anyone want anything other than stella?

Duke, theres no shame in doing a half triple. more time to drink beer actually, I can guarantee you wont be lonley

[Uncle Duke]

[Wayne P]

Wicked fun...but wish I pushed it a little harder because I had tons of reserve left in the tank at the top of Cypress. I also did way too many trails on a bike that sucks on them (with my seat up and 50psi in my tires).

We rode a little over 61 kms. Not as long as I thought, but after 8 fricken hours, who cares?

Nice job on the SS Smoke - yer one strong SOB.

[LeeLau]

I'd like to say I had gas left in the tank but I'd be lying. 6 hrs 45 mins; 67km and 2290m of climbing

[Zedbra]

k - this just in. My comment about Wayne Parsons was sarcasm. It was not meant to make anyone lose sleep or cry or any shit like that. This was the most fun event on wheels for many of us, so let there only be fun and no snivelling.

:eek: the infamous e-sarcasm!!

[Knight-Rider]

Awsome ride.....Awosme time. I'm glad its over, but I'd do it again next year in a heartbeat. Team shuttlewhore is an awsome group of guys to ride with, along with everyone else we ran into along the way. Fun was the name of the game. True spirit of mountain biking if you ask me. Props to James, Sharon, Tammy, and all the other oraganizers and volunteers for making it a great day. Props to team shuttlewhore's support crew, which I wouldn't have been able to make it that far without them. And props to everone else who rode yesterday, as it was a grueling ride.

I need a break from drinking beer :D

[Rat]

I had a great time, Its amazing how quick your body process the beer. I thought I had bought enough beer with lots to spare but at the end of the day it was all gone.

ps - Someone left a cove jersey in the truck as well as a ratty fox glove.

Also I have a pair of Gloves for silt and statix from our team prize.

Good, I washed them today. Will give them to you next time.

here's a few pics. :)

[Silk]

What a day it was for sure!

I had never been on Seymour or Cypress riding, never did the Executioner on Fromme and have never did the shore on a hardtail with 3 inches of travel up front.

Thanks to all who set this event up

And Rat as well as everyone else who did the support for us Team Shuttle Whores that was the best day I have ever had in my life. You have now set the bar for all future Triple crowns.

We need to make sure this race is here to stay and that all us Whores make it to every single one from this point or else be the "weak ticket"

After I told my wife about the day she said she would like to be on the support crew for next year.

[Sharon]

Go Team SHUTTLEWHORE!

[dirty deeds]

Go Team SHUTTLEWHORE!

:lol: There's more than a couple of ringers on Team S-W. None of those guys are old, fat or slow... and they don't shuttle.

Trevor and Ken looked like SHI-IITE afterwards.

Pete was actually coherant.

Trevor and Ken looked like SHI-IITE afterwards..

haha..

poor Trev and Ken didn't realize that they were really joining Team Drink-till-you-Drop.

Trev turned a whiter shade of pale when saw that he had to chug a beer beer at 8.30am in the parking lot. I almost hurled watching him drink it.

you should have seen statix climb the steep pitch up to the demo forest with a beer in his hand. A very skilled rider indeed.

[TheGiggler]

yeah, i think our team name should have been "fueled by beer". DD, that beer was my breakfast... need to fuel up for the climb.

the scariest part is i how well i was riding after all that beer... ;)

Hell no! I think it was the beer that kept me alive to the end.... I lost count at 11 and by the time the end came when Rat handed me a beer at the after party It was all I could do to finish it....

For the first time in my life I had my fill of beer!

[dirty deeds]

I lost count at 11

:S

i'm ashamed to say i could never be consider for the team. I may be old, fat and slow, but there's no way I could do that ride after chugging suds at 8.30am and... 11 beers :dead:

[Knight-Rider]

I started the day with 3 litres of water in my backpack, and had over half left over at lot 5. I didn't start sucking water till I exited milstream onto cypress bowl road
