“Ride With an MTB Icon” Prize Announcement: LIVE, Wednesday, 11:00am PDT
UPDATE: From the hints I gave, several people figured out that the person I’ll be interviewing is none other than Gary Fisher. Be sure to register for and join the webinar as he and I talk about details of what the prize is.
Oh, you just don’t know how excited I am about this prize. It is all I can do right now to not give away what it is.
Wednesday, July 22, however, I can finally reveal what the latest grand prize in the Grand Slam for Kenya will be.
And I will have a very special guest with me to announce the prize.
Very, very special.
And I’ll get to reveal it live, from the the comfort of your computer, at 11:00am PDT. At least, a lucky 100 people will get to join in live (for the rest of you, I’ll put up a recording here shortly after the live event).
But here’s the deal: you’ve got to register to attend. And then, you need to sign in on time. Because while I can accept up to 1000 registrations, only 100 people can attend.
I can’t help myself. I’ve got to give a few hints. Here you go:
- You will meet a beloved cycling icon, known to practically everyone in mountain biking
- There will be a trip involved
- The trip will not be outside the United States (but you can still win if you live outside the US; you just will have to cover the airfare necessary to get you into the US).
- The location of the trip is significant
- This cycling icon will go on an awesome ride with you
- Also, he (yes, he) will give you a tour of some place.
- To get a tour of this place by this person is not something most people would ever expect, but which I would pretty much kill for. OK, I wouldn’t kill for it. But I would definitely beg.
- I will also join you — for the ride and for the tour — because there is no possible way I am missing out on this prize
Curious? I’ll bet you are. Want to win? I know you do. So: register for the big announcement. And then go donate in the Grand Slam for Kenya (want details of what this is? Click here. Want the rules? Click here. so you have a chance of winning this prize, not to mention the bikes and the trip to Italy.

Levi, and a personal Gran Fondo of his home-turf in the Santa Rosa/Kings Ridge area (no punching in the throat allowed during the ride…save it for AFTER).

My dog asked me to post:
“Col. Mustard in the library with a mallard. Because when was the last time you saw someone with a mallet and he is certain he heard somebody yell ‘duck.’”
As usual, when it comes to figuring out half the stuff he says, I’m clueless.
Could be the heat.

That’s 2PM EDT. I’ve got a meeting. Bad timing, Fatty. Guess I’ll have to catch up after.

I will simply say here that at least one person in the comments has got it right.

Way to go Leroy’s dog…you nailed it…Col Mustard in the library w/ a Mallard. I never would have figured that one out. Genius…pure genius.

Gary Freaking Fisher?!!!
Comment by AKChick | 07.22.2015 | 9:42 am
Okay, there was only one MTBer that I would have freaked out about and that is The Queen of Pain.
However, as a the owner of a Gary Fisher Tassajara MTB, I WOULD LOVE TO MEET GARY FISHER!
What an amazing bunch of prizes!!! You have really outdone yourself Fatty!
Sadly, I have to work, but if you could post the webcast for viewing later, I’d love to watch when I am not at work.
GARY FISHER!! OMG!!! :)

If it’s Gary Fisher, is it a behind the scenes tour at the Trek World Headquarters in Waterloo, WI and mountain biking at “The Farm”?
Comment by owen | 07.22.2015 | 12:25 pm
yep maybe the Repack downhill course with Gary Fisher and touring wine country. Gary has fairly recently done Iceman Cometh in Michigan Fatty – ask him about it.

Too late to guess, but I’ve met both Gary Fisher (also raced him a couple of times) and Scot Nichol. Didn’t get to talk much with Gary Fisher; but all of his interviews etc are most interesting. This would be a great prize to win. I’ll have to watch your conversation with him later.
