RADS ULTRA QUEST Featuring Vegas Bob!



World Famous Vegas Bob and his Tomac Carbide are rolling out to race the first ever RADS ULTRA QUEST CHALLENGE this weekend! Although originally slated for the Fontana NMBS race, Bob has asked to do this mega-death race to put his new Tomac Carbide to the ultimate test. This new event is Saturday (the same day as his NMBS race), but a great way to showcase his new bike and pedals, tires, hrm, Hydrapak, and Amino Vital product.
The race is alleged to be a result of the the "discontent" (for lack of a better word) with the difficulty level of the Warrior's Society endurance event that went down a couple of weeks ago in the O.C. That ride began as a RADS ride a looooong time ago, and then was absorbed by the W.S. Since then, it has become a large event that many people finish. That ain't good enough, so the RADS will be hosting this invite only event TOMORROW! The UQ is 40 miles, but it's all singletrack, LOADS of hiking, 12,000 feet of climbing, no first aid, no moto-sweeper, no radios, and no 100 dollar entry fee. That's ol' school bitches!




Vegas Bob has had a ton of hard miles on the Carbide, and he comes from an old TOMAC/RLX team issue Titanium frame (Litespeed) that one of their female racers used for the 2004 season. He said the Carbide makes NO NOISE, climbs better than the Ti bike, and w/90mm. of adjustable-lock-out-rear travel, has been amazing in the technical and blisteringly fast So Cal mountains. The last place you wanna lay over a Carbon mtb is San Juan Trail and the surrounding rock-strewn singletrack of the Ortega Mountains. He is so in lovewith this bike, I may have to call the police and get a "sex-offender" declaration made against him. That would suck, though. he'd have to stay 100 yards away from any Tomac Carbide bikes...and who could be expected to do that?
