Curtis from Bike Emporium has hooked us up with Power Bar products for this years Coolest 24.  No need to bring snack-treats this year.  We still need a beer sponsor.  There is 60 days before the event.  

Let's start getting teams together.  Remember, this is not just about the ride!  This is a charitable event.  Lets raise some money!  Last year,  we raised $2,500.  That is a pretty big deal.  Lets to it again.

Oh...PLEASE THINK OF A NAME FOR OUR TEAM.   In the running is "Dirty Helmet" ... Type something!

BONUS:  All team members will be given directions to the super secret entrance to the "Hermit Hut Reverse Traverse" trail on the North side of the North Fork American River Canyon.  Phil rode the HHRT with other DORK members (see picture).   Axe him if it was fun.....

Ready to Get Dirty...For a Cause?

It is time to start getting organized for this years 24 hour event at Cool.  Last year we raised some decent money.  I am pretty certain we all had a great time.

This year I am hoping do something a bit different.   Instead of the larger "corporate" teams,  many of our riders have suggested we break it down into 3 and 4 person teams.  This will give us the opportunity to establish many more stupid names for our teams,  and maybe hit up more folks for donations to the super worthy cause.  

The course is longer,  and using my twisted logic,  that will make it EASIER for 4 man teams.  Not so many laps!

I will bring my camper wing-dinger like last year and secure a cool spot for us.  I will also bring my workstand and tools again.  

Please don't be to worried about the 4 man deal.  Last year we all did at least 3 laps.  This year,  it will probably be more like 4 each.  Not that big of a deal.

I think we can put "like minded" riders together in groups.  I like winning,  but my ass is large and I am not that fast.    Some of the riders are the fastest riders on the course.   You guys make your own team (butch, andy, jacob....) and win the thing....if you want.   

Ok...Start Commenting.  Lets start talking about who is riding with who.  Talk amongst yourselves...  I will help,  but the stress last year of trying to fill the teams kinda was a pain in my ass.
