Bear paw ridge run

[Chicken]

We have hill climbs we have drag races. So here is something a little different. Its going to be more of a cross counrty race with hill climbs in it.

Sat March 21st is the date. The start will be at bear paw lake. There will be four check points. 1) Church mnt. 2) 2nd bowl at exclesior 3) Lower bear paw/exclesior y 4)Bear paw lake.
This is also going to be a tadem race. So you and your partner have to make all the check points together. Depending on how much intrest is shown on here we might have diffrenent divisions. (Girls/guys ect.) There will be people along the way to help. We also need to keep in mind that this is not a place for inexperinced riders. Especially if by some chance we get some late snow and it is deep. Which would be awesome.
There will be a chilli and hot dog feed back at the lake.
For those who have never ridden in that area before come and check it out so you can plan your attack. We also will ride the course with in the next few weeks with a gps so we can down load a map.

Should be alot of fun.

Sounds like a Hoot!! As long as I am not out of town---I will be there as well. I have ridden there, but only twice--Love the area though from what I have seen of it.

H20SKE...

I will race ya Mac29

By tandem do you mean 2 sleds climbing up the same hill at once? Will there also be several sleds racing up the same climbs? Sounds like a bad idea having more than one sled on hillclimb at a time when it could slide....

Sounds like fun though, bear paw is a great place.

im in!!!!

I think by tandem he means that one person can't leave a checkpoint w/o the other rider. I don't think that means you both have to climb the hill at the same time.

Did a race like this in Idaho and it was a RIOT! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think by tadem he means you have to ride with someone on the back of your sled.....

Two sleds two riders.You could not make this loop doubleThe idea is twofold.First you should never ride alone,second its more fun to make sure both can get it done.Not for beginers!

 

[Chris the sled guy]

Yep sounds fun

To bad the lake will still be frozen you could add a water crossing.
It will be a great birthday weekend then yipee

Dave and Brandy are both right. When I say tandem I mean both have to check in together at each check point. Plus you have a buddy with you at all times incase something happens. Not sure yet but I am thinking the start will be staggered so we don't have mass chaos shooting up the hills at once. I am sure by the middle and the end there will be multiple riders on hills at the same time. As long as everyone thinks we should be ok. You guys think the ridge is bad wait till you try coming out of lower bear paw with trenches all the way thru! Thats the reason for the third stop. You can take the road around from that point or shoot up thru the tree's to the lower lake and then straight up to bear paw!

Anyone want to be my partner? I wont be racing for the win or prize because I already have people saying its not fair if I race. But it will be just for bragging rights!

 

[winter brew]

I'm sure Ace and Gary will be in if they get to ride 2-up.

 

[OVERTHEBARS]

Partner

I'll race with you Conrad. That should make it a little more fair, dont you think?

 

[Adrenaline Revolution]

I'm sure Ace and Gary will be in if they get to ride 2-up.

Only if it's "clothing optional" !

[rmkgirl]

Sounds like AWESOME fun!

Conrad,

It's great of you to organize these events! They really seem to draw some fun, inspirational riders to the mountain. The memorial ride couldn't have been any greater! You did an impressive job, but then again, you were taught by one of the best! See you there....

By the way...what are we racing for? Doesn't really matter... the prize is the ride, right?

 

[Unknown]

Its gonna be crazy.. some real carnage!!!!

 

[2zeros]

Sounds like a Hare Scrambles................

I have always been trying to figure out how to do an event of this kind. You need to post all of the rules. It sounds like a blast! Do you have the help to put this on, are you with a club? This could be HUGE if it is done right. Keep us posted........................
