PAul, what bike are you riding this year?

 

[Paper Puncher]

Great effort although some of that looks like too much hard work for this little duck!!

 

[rev106]

I wanted to make a new bike, a 4130 Elgin clone but I've to much bs to deal with so it's not happening, just my trusty old crooked Monarch. The guy in the pic up there who crashed is 65 years old-......!!

Heat #2

"Nuclear Winter"

Meet point:

7am meet, 8am ride.

Crappy ... Starbucks 9935 Topanga Canyon Blvd, Chatsworth, CA 91311



Spectators 5

Meat Pylons 1

Breakage 7

Loop style course, 10 laps each lap is about a mile. On a hill side so roughly 1/2 is downish and 1/2 is up. Lots of twists and turns, jumps and berms. Course is not accessible via car we must park about a 1/2 mile away and ride in.

[rev106]
