NUE Grizzly 100k Big Bear 7/30

Registration has opened up for this one.

Looks like they dropped the "Terrible 10,000" from the name, since it was only 8500'.

Did this last year....it is a blast.

You get all of Skyline Trail, all of SART, Seven Oaks.....and of course Radford Grade.

Anybody?????

 

I wanted to do it last year, but was off the bike when they had it... I'll put it on the calendar.

 

I'll see if I can be ready by then.

 

I'll probably do one of the shorter courses (the one without Radford).

 

I know I don't get around much anymore. This ride is why I'm here now! For me this has been a bucket list ride since I first herd of it a couple years ago. Last year I won the entry in a raffle drawing at the Pioneertown Gravle Grinder. Then I had a back injury that took me off the bike for a while. I knew I was not ready and my back was not healed. I decided to go for it anyway with not very good results.  l ended the ride after only around 46 miles with aprox 6000ft. needless to say The Grizzly 100 did me, not I did the Grizzly 100. Soooo this is why I'm here. I need advice and motivation. I'm here to be a whiny cry baby and complain about how I have no time to train. I know I again this year will be unprepared for this ride.  Then sit back and read all off your comments about my sandy vagina, and how I'm going to kill it!  I am registered but just not sure about going through with it. Well there now to sit back and wait for all the positive feedback!

 

If yer registered, you have to show. Ride. If you don't finish, you don't finish. That was me on the Crusher. Twice.

 

See if they will switch your registration to one of the shorter routes....that way you won't have to walk up Radford again. I believe I passed you last year on the way up. But then you will miss the fun of 7 Oaks and SART.

Not gonna tell you how to train....you are a big boy and can figure it out.

 

Haha yes you passed me as I was walking up Radford. I'm just glad you didn't pass me while I was crawling! missing 7 Oaks and S.A.R.T. just doesn't sound like a viable option. Soungs like I'm just going to have to pull up my granny panties and pedal.

 

I am totally down for this. I can't wait to start training for the....

Huh? What? Oh my family reunion/golf tournament in Temecula that day? Oh crap - yup forgot about that. Welp, gotta start hittin' golf balls instead, I guess. Dang it!

 

So what's the deal with the belt buckle? Is it worth $190 (JK)?

 

Is anybody riding the @ this event?...... I'm on the fence.
Try to rationalize spending $110 to ride 30 miles searching for Oxygen.

 

It's a fun ride...at least the 100k was.

I'm not doing it this year, I didn't get registered early, so it jumped up to $170. Decided I didn't want to spend that much on a ride I can go do on my own.

 

I wanted to, but for the second year in a row, I can't swing it.

 

Ill be there getting my a$$ kicked again!

 

"Entry includes event T-Shirt!".... You are missing out!

 

I do that on every hill climb.

 

"Entry includes event T-Shirt!".... You are missing out!

 

Apparently the online registration is closed.....I guest I'll have to wait until next year.

 

Is it to late to start training now?

 

You have plenty of time. 10 hours should put you on the podium. !!

 

Nice finish!

I look forward to reading about this one...
