Here is my setup for the Bailey Hundo 100 miles mountain bike race starting in Bailey Colorado next weekend http://www.bailey100.com/ . Fully stupid rigid singlespeed! Is this a good idea? Well see. I wished I could've pre-ridden the course but looking at the route I'm thinking of running a tougher gear. http://www.bailey100.com/map.html Riding on a Schwalbe Racing Ralph rear tire and either a Ralph or Nobby Nic on the front.The Bailey HUNDO supports three youth biking initiatives in Colorado: Trips For Kids Denver/Boulder, which offers mountain biking opportunities to underserved youth and changes lives “two wheels at a time”! Colorado High School Cycling League, a new resource for high school students around the state to be exposed to the world of mountain bike racing--and developing the racers of tomorrow who will ride YOUR legs off! Kids On Bikes giving new bikes to children in the Pikes Peak region "through programs that inspire a healthy lifestyle, independence, and achievement”.
I LOVE RACES THAT BENEFIT KIDS LIKE THIS! If you have a pile of cash laying around, you can donate on my fund raising account at http://www.prerace.com/registration/donation/7299 or as an alternative just take a kid biking. Thanks!
There is some tough competition! I'm planning, as usual, to do my best and hope to get on the podium. It looks like an awsome course. A large portion of the singletrack is on the Colorado Trail which is always rewarding!
