Bone Bender

Race ON!
The Bone Bender 3/6 hour is running rain or shine. The awesome Smithville Trail Crew is prepping the course today and hoping the rain stays south as predicted right now. We may get some precipitation, but we will be running the race either way. We've got 70+ registered racers so we will probably see the field swell to well over 125 by race time.

Good luck to everyone who is going!!! Wish I could be with ya.

Someone please post how it went when you get back.. Smooth is fast! Or so I have been told anyway..

I had to totally disassemble my bike today due to the terrible conditions of the race! I was at least lucky not to have suffered the damage that Dave did, just some scratches and mud! I did have to replace the cables, housing and chain! They where shot! Everything else seems to be OK! Guys, count yourselves lucky to have missed this event. Better days ahead , I hope...
