I Don't Like People Talking Smack About My Bike Ride 12/21/13 at 9AM
Ok me and my friend Bill went out to FATS today and I had a mechanical problem on my bike so he had to wait on me and I had to leave early. Bill started talking a bunch of smack about my bike and saying I needed a new one. I don't like people talking down about my bike because I built it myself and it is exactly what I want it to be... and I think it's the best in the world.... so I told him that. So then Bill starts saying how he keeps beating badly and all this other smack talk. So I said, name the time and the place and we will ride "no holds barred" and we will see how badly you can beat me... if at all.
So Bill says he wants to ride round and round "Tower" counterclockwise for four straight hours to see who gets the most laps in. So it's on. We are going to do it Saturday morning 12/21/13.
Now Bill and I are friends but this is a grudge match so it's going a competitive ride. If you get hurt and can't ride you lose. If your bike falls apart and you can't ride it you lose. Whoever goes around that trail (Tower) the most time in four hours is going to be the champ.
The prize is bragging rights.
Anyone else who wants to throw their hat in the ring call me 706-267-8225 or just show up.
Meet at the trailhead next to Big Rock at 830AM. Ride up to the beginning of Tower and get ready by 900AM. We are going to start timing it at 900AM sharp.

That sounds terrible haha. Why not race all six loops?
Do report back once the dust settles! And this thread is worthless without pics.

Thanks for the input dgaddis1. I'll get those pics up as soon as possible. Also correction: It's CLOCKWISE not counterclockwise.

He beat me He beat me fair and square. Motobecane rigid vs Specialized Full Suspension and the FS won. I did seven laps in 3:40 and he did 8 laps in 4:01. A friend called us at 1:15pm to ask us who won and I said Bill won. The friend asked if I was going to get a new bike and Bill said "No... he does not need a new bike". Ok. That's all I wanted to hear. We are going to do some laidback friendly rides this winter and we are always looking to make new friends!
