Let me start by saying that although this is a race, it is for fun, so those of you that feel you don't like to compete should have no excuse for not coming out and having a good time. This particular event will be focused on endurance or rather how many beers and laps can be put down in 2 hours. This event uses a duo format so you only really have to ride for about an hour. The standard beer, costume, and underwear bonuses are in place. Break out those costumes! Don’t let me down folks! Gelande quaffing is back by popular demand. Still don’t know what that is? Click on the vids to the right. Don't be intimidated by the athleticism displayed in some of the vids. We are just as health conscious as the next dude. We will go with 6 oz pours of delicious golden heaven. Sunday morning will bring bloody mary’s with breakfast to shake off that hangover from the TWO kegs from Vintage Brewing we are getting for dinner!
A few things to make sure you bring with you:
- Tent
- Sleeping bag
- Warm clothes
- Camp chair
- Beverages for your camp fire bs'ing
- Potluck dish

- Flashlight/head lamp for the late night trip to the yurt for s’mores
- Water to keep you in top shape
