Slow fat guys doing the triple crown

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.

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

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.

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

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...

^^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.
