Father's Day


The latest local multi-sport event is taking shape. Has taken shape, rather. All that is left is to assemble the crew and go/do. Here is the skinny:


Saturday, June 18 (a week from this Sat. and Father's Day eve).

We ride from the BAC to Elma. See map. It is a handful less than a century, give/take 95. There are five category 5 climbs and 3,500 feet of total gain. Cake. We'll used the SAG methodology perfected on Bernie's Big Adventure, e.g. self supported. You must take the wheel for a stretch. We'll motel-camp at the Parkhurst in Elma, a beautiful 1930's stucco and wood bungalo dive, carbo-load at dinner and hoist a few. Sunday morning, Fathers Day, you have your pick of Elma events, a sprint tri, a du, a half-marathon, a 10K, a 5K or a one miler. Then we ride back. Once back, it, hopefully, still being Fathers Day, we'll all meet up for pizza and beer somewhere to celebrate the ride, the race, the event and the importance of being Dad.


You can also cherry-pick the events, one ride, just race, drive, race and ride, WHATEVER. Just show your offspring that you are still man (or woman) enough to hang with the homie wackos.


I do not want to hear your son or daughter say (ever), "Gee Dad, you can't ride a century, podium at a casual sprint tri, and ride another century home in two days, what a wimp."


I don't want to hear it. So sign up today to ensure the long term admiration of your kids.


Wait till you see what we have cooked up for Mother's Day!!!!!
