 |
| This is our new kitten Zipper the day after we had house guests...don't lay around...meet Kara and I for a laid back ride on Saturday! And keep in mind, we are all training for the Little Rock Half Marathon so some may really ride! :) |
We are riding road bikes this Saturday at 9:30 am from my house at Birdeye. We are planning on the Vanndale loop plus Million Dollar Road. Plan on 1-1/2 hours and about 25 miles. We're fired up! Weather should be sunny and 56 is the high. I will have snacks for post ride fun, but lemme know if you're showing up for it so I'll have enough. Keeli :)

Mountain Bike Ride Saturday the 10th at Village Creek
Hello from Village Creek.
I will be leading a mountain bike ride on Saturday Nov. 10th at 3:30 p.m. We will meet at the Visitor Center Parking lot and will ride for an hour or two depending on what the group wants.
Also in case any of the roadies out there are wanting to try mountain biking, but do not have a bike we now have three brand new Specialized Hardrock rental bikes.
I have personally tested all three of these bikes and they are going to be a blast on the trail. So now you have no excuse to miss tomorrows ride. See you there.

Gearhead Cyclocross Race Results, Village Creek
 |
| This is the A race which was after the B. B was first because it is shorter than the A. I think A's are your fastest group. I think that's the winner of the A and close behind is Daniel Shaffer who is the Start2Finish guru in Memphis. Start2Finish always does a wonderful race, they know what they are doing and are wonderful to work with! |
 |
| The A group start line...they raced the same course for 45 minutes plus a lap which I think at their speed was 12 laps, it was tough I tell ya! See winners below! |
 |
| Here's Jackie on the dismount....B group |

| Oops here's me....I kinda like not having any photos on here! |

| As novice's, Kara and I held a conversation most of the race, I kid you not then I had to remount and get over the dirt pile because I was in the wrong gear....Kara was #1! |
 |
| Stan and Martin |
 |
| The B race starting line was held up by whomever but East Birdeye (that would be Kara and Whit)... the race official kept asking where number 114 and 115 was...hahaha.. The B group raced for 35 minutes plus a lap...I think we did 6 laps but I wasn't sure because when they rang the bell that I had another lap, I wasn't sure I could do it.... |
 |
| Whit was the only junior and got a fancy, red cowbell.. this is the 4 ft, pile of dirt we all had to git over...it was TOUGH! |
WOW the BBC's first cyclocross was a ton of fun! Gearhead and Jason did a great job of organizing it and there was quite a turnout. Most all were professional racers who already had a cycling membership. The BBC had 7 novices entered and Michael Hirons was the first in the male division, Kara first in the women and Whit the one and only junior. Let's not forget Kyle who was 4th in cat 4/5. Yay BBC!
I love cyclocross. I am considering going up to Craighead Forrest Park Nov. 18 for another one put on by Gearhead. It's quite a challenge and even though I was the slowest one out there I think I had the best time. Keeli

Trail Ride this Saturday
Friday, November 2, 2012
I will be leading a trail ride at the park on Saturday, at 12 p.m. everyone is invited. It will be an easy ride, I don’t want to wear anyone out for the race the next day. After the ride Gearhead will be here around 2 p.m. to start setting up the CX course and has asked for some volunteers to help with that project. What better way to learn the course then to help build it!
Thank you,
