Immediately after the aid station is a steep jeep trail that has broken many hearts and destroyed many legs. At the base of the climb some poor rider was trying valiantly to extract his chain-sucked chain from his full-suspension rig.<br /><br />As I rode by I didn't laugh. I didn't smile smugly. However, I must confess I had smug thoughts--very, very, very smug thoughts. Hey, if he had elevated chainstays like my Alien chainsuck would have been no problem.<br /><br />Of course, his double-boinger was probably the only one that didn't pass me on the remaining nine miles of downhill...<br /><br />Every K-Racer has to do this race. The new single-track is killer and it has killer views. Did I write it was killer?burnthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138041780177194252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054661328359626324.post-40384251103058738472010-09-10T13:57:35.936-07:002010-09-10T13:57:35.936-07:00Damn, Burnsie's toughness is making me thirsty...Damn, Burnsie's toughness is making me thirsty.Bicycle Hellfire Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980779994460219105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054661328359626324.post-86081046065684615742010-09-10T08:59:08.070-07:002010-09-10T08:59:08.070-07:00For his efforts Burnsie was awarded the "spir...For his efforts Burnsie was awarded the "spirit of the Dakota 5-0" award which included one bad-ass military style cruiser bike. Well deserved. <br /><br />It should also be mentioned that he rode in the cowboy garb, with boots in toe-clips on his 28 lb nisiki alien mtb from like 1989 or something. That man is pure man.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03938050847858909641noreply@blogger.com
