Makes me feel as if I were there...not that I could ever dream of biking that many miles in the mountains. Thanks for bringing the event alive for me. I'm so glad you enjoyed Bec's inaugural event.

Plus you can fill it with donuts for Fatty. Looks like a great ride! I think a front basket with number plate attached to it is the only solution Levi. Plus you can fill it with donuts for Fatty.

I tried attaching it to the bars but my cables are too far back because I ride a long stem and the number was facing downward. I'll have to get the engineers in Morgan Hill to come up with something. Unless someone here has a better idea? All that matters is that I beat Fatty up the hill so I don't have to wear some ridiculous hat or eat a thousand donuts. I shiver at the thought of what he would have made me do had I l Yes, I put my number plate on wrong.

Hope to make next years. I agree with Rebecca you are on fire this year. Once again fatty every time you discribe one of these events I find myself added them to my bucket list.

Anyone riding Trail Creek sub 30 minutes is no slouch. I did smile all day because of al of the other smiles that were happening. Despite a bit of smoke, washboards and flats, people genuinely seemed to be having a good time and that's all I wanted. Regarding number plate #1, yes that was reserved for a good friend of mine who should have been on that start line with us. I rode with her number plate on the back side of mine so I could see it while I rode. Nice climbing Fatty. Anyone riding Trail Creek sub 30 minutes is no slouch.

It is SO much fun to ride and has helped me develop a strong liking to steep hills since it climbs so well. I use it pretty much as a road bike. However, I have done one off-road ride on the Big Island to the Green Sand beach. With skinny tires (I run 700x28)and no suspension, it was a mighty uncomfortable ride and a tad bit scary (narrow handlebars, clipped in, more forward position), but it was a lot of fun. I never fell, so that was an accomplishment given how bumpy, uneven, rocky and at times the ride was. Given the choice, I would take my Gary Fisher Tassajara Hardtail OR even better, my 9:Zero:7 fat tire bike. Now that would have been a FUN and cushy ride!
