MTBco Toonie #5

Another Toonie, another pair of socks from Evan.   It seems to be working for him, at least for this series.  Setting new course records at the Toonie’s is, in Evan’s own words, his “biggest accomplishment of the year…”

Another first was the Le Mans start.  Thank Mike for that brainwave.

Although the route wasn’t all that clear.  “Do we go over here?”

Nope, it’s this way…

Hey, wait for me!

The evil genius that is our leader…

OK, how about some action photos of racers?

That would be Brian, the new Rocky Mtn. Bikes rep that showed up to represent.

Here’s a few more….

Check out the swag you’re missing out on.  That’s a ti railed saddle there.

The first place woman get’s her prize from our podium girl.  Even better than the Tour de France ones in my book.

Yeah, that’s the prize you want. There’s cold beer in those bags.

Big thanks to Union Cycle for providing the GIANT burgers.  They look like 29’rs from this angle.

The Le Mans start seems to have worked.  A new course record again (the clock started when the leaders crossed the start on the bikes), and everyone seems to have clocked a quicker time today.

Toonie #3

Maybe this is why people think racing is gay.

Yeah, nice bibs.  Makes you want to wrestle.

The Toonies keep getting bigger.   Over 20 people on a regular basis now, and quite the variety shows up each time.

The best $2 you’ll spend.  Glenn from Outbound kicked down the burgers this week.

..and as usual there was a prize for everyone.
