My guess would be that since Treksupports the BC Bike Race that he’ll go there. Tinker? We’ll see. Ourstuff in Breck has always been more about the lunch-pail racer. We’reoffering a decent purse, but I’d be more that happy to see one of myneighbors win it. I’d be very happy to see Josh Tostado toe the lineand if he does, he’s going to be the swiss replica watches favorite no matter who shows up.He’s that fast and these are the woods where he keeps his stills.BIKERUMOR:The stages are about 30+ miles or so would yousay it’s more XC then endurance and are we expected to take in theviews? I know they are back-to-back but the stages seem short…whatgives? And,yeah I know, 6 days, so I better be careful what I amasking.MIKE:The shortest stage is a bit more than 30.Probably 35. The longest is just under 50.
At first glance, it doeslook short compared to BC and TR, but there are a couple of things toconsider almost all of the course is above 10,000 feet in elevation there’s very little road – you’re going to be mountain biking on high-mineral-content soil. You will feel it. That 30 mile sweetheart you’re talking about? You’re gonna becussing like replica Concord watches a long-haul trucker with Tourette’s for half of that baby.Guaranteed.BIKERUMOR:Are the stages short b/c everyone is gonna get their ass kicked at altitude? Those that are a sea dwellers anyway?MIKE: Everyone will get their asses kicked, seadwellers or not. People are going to be burning matches out there. Ishowed Josh the course out of concern for all of the above and do youwanna know what one of the fastest ultra-endurance guys in the countrysaid?
“DUDE! That’s BRUTAL!”BIKERUMOR: Is there an after party?MIKE: Bitch, please. Is there an after party. What kind of question is that?There’s a huge after party in downtown Breck after the final stage.In addition to that, we’ll be showing the replica Jaeger LeCoultre watches tour each night with the helpof Subaru and their massive inflatable party tent replete with bigscreen TV, sound system and lounge chairs. We’re lining up a fewspecial Colorado-based vendors to have a theme night each eveningduring social hour. So far we’ve got Ice Cream Social, Sushi, Pizza andmy personal favorite, “The Santa Cruz Sausage Party.”
