Wayne Ultra 100 / Park City NMBS This Weekend!

IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!













The Backboners will have yet another split National venue this weekend, with the Cali Crew heading to Park City, Utah for some Mormon Racing! O.K., they won't be racing any Mormons...but Vegas Bob wil be attempting to test the laws of polygamy in their state as soon as he reaches St. George.



















World Famous Vegas Bob, Vanessa "Super-V" Humic and Brant The Hitman are heading out today (I think) for Park City. Being a mountain bike race, and being in Utah (very strict liquor laws), I am unsure how they plan on living like the rock-stars they are w/out any micro-brews (Columbus Brewing Co. Pale Ale) or Jaeger. maybe a quick stop in Vegas for a cooler, ice and tasty beverages before crossing the border near Virgin (home of the Red Bull Rampage)?











I was so bloated in 2005 when this photo was taken along Navajo Lake Loop, I actually broke that tree in half on my first lap with me moobs!























Kenda Team DH Racer Tom Wehe is seen here in Brain Head, Utah giving Ara something they call the "Sneaky Schnitzel" back home in Europe. I haven't seen the Kreamin' Kraut in a loooong time, so if he shows up to Park City please tell him to help Gov. Scwarzenneger speak the queen's english. With Brant being part of the team Special Forces attachment for the weekend, I fully expect the birthrate near Park City to increase 125% in the next ten months.



























Kenda Factory Ho-Bags will not be present at the next NMBS stop, unfortunately. With shorts so short you can hear eggs rattling together, they will be sorely missed. Big Jim Wannamaker will be with Robby and his wife on a pseudo vacation to the race, so it's probably for the best that the Buxom Buddies aren't there!
















Bob and Vanessa warming up last season at the NMBS race in Colorado. Check out Vegas Bob's old RLX-POLO TEAM ISSUE Litespeed/Tomac! That was Susan Demattei's actual bike!!!





















































Jeff Williams and Newb Backboner Sean Cavalluchy are also rolling out this weekend. They are going to the Wayne National Forest (that's funny...forest...in Ohio...sorry, it just is.) to compete in the Wayne Ultra 100! Jeff is gonna rock it solo until his testes feel like they have been placed in a panini press.

Nice trails, great fun

Come join us for The Wayne Ultra in the scenic Marietta Unit of Wayne National Forest, Ohio's only National Forest.

This first annual event will showcase some of the area's most beautiful and challenging singletrack while taking you on a true backcountry epic! Whether you are out to win or to have a great day on the trail you are sure to be amazed by the natural beauty of Southeastern Ohio.

To ensure a great trail experience, RVMBA volunteers have dedicated hundreds of hours to course preparation.


The 40 mile Ultra course is brutal so we will also be offering an "Almost Ultra" course that weighs in at about 25 miles. Sunday will offer a series of group rides led by RVMBA members. The race will be staged at the beautiful Leith Run Campground on the Ohio River. The campground offers a playground and hiking trails so bring the whole family for a festive weekend of riding ...come and get some!

Extra Info: Stocked aid stations and post race meal provided. Non-competitive riders are encouraged to attend and enter the short course, where else can you get a marked epic ride and dinner for thirty bucks! This is a truly epic backcountry mountain bike race! Trail pass required for non-racers.

Amino Vital will be consumed in both states this weekend, and probably by the S**T-LOAD (the official Texas unit of measurement)! Jeff will be freebasing the Endurance formula like Courtney Love in order to maximize it's absorption into the bloodstream. If the girl picured were Courtney Love, that would probably be Kurt Cobain's ashes in that plastic tub, and she and Yoko Ono would sell it for some blow.
