| The Wrong Stud Set-up for Fast |
Lap two, I was working it pretty hard to stay away from Barry and Larry. In section four they caught me and asked to pass and if I was alright, I said I think so, and put in another big effort. I figured if I could at least make it to the top of section 4 I could scream a hot downhill section. It worked. I pushed up and down sec 4 pretty fast. The studs helped but rear tire without center line studs was sketchy for studs anyhow. In hindsight wish I would have tried the studs prior to race. Then I'd know light and super sketchy non-studs was better. Or lightly studded sharpies. My studs, with bolts had seen commutes, so not too sharp either. Hard to find time with family and all etc etc you know the drill.
So anyway I gaped Larry and Barry real good in section 4, they we're out of sight. But in final section 3, I was toast, they caught me. First Larry and later Barry near end of race. I ended 10th. It was still good enough for fatbike series overall win!! From what I hear I also won the hillside racer of the year with most points out of all the races. Traveling trophy coming. Sweet.
Speaking of trophies, Hillside is known to have some good ones. I have a few. Just got to hit it right. Artist produce the goods hit or miss. It was Hendrick's, Sue rules of late. That plus Hillside such a good time, big bonfire, stunts, people having fun, good prizes, cash, really.....that's why I keep going back. Plus the course is a nice challenge.
Speaking of trophy more, Jack. Where's the Fuji fixie (traveling Fatbike fest trophy?).
A little MN Fat History I know of.......

Whatyoumean. I was 3 weeks after you and Habs. That night at Leban.
I know there is some confusion over who one the very first fat race. There was no sep catagory for skinny and fat. The fats got a 2 min head start. I was riding my arrowhead bike with the double wide snowcat rims with a 2.4 tire. hollywood and tim chuck took the hole shot and I had to pass to gain lead. I caught and passed pirate, stoner and the rest on purple prides. I was probably in the best shape of my life. I trained harder that winter than I ever have. The way I remember it there was no sep awards for the purple bikes. 1 week earlier I was on the arrowhead ground begging for my life. the next week I was having fun racing at the first ever winter race in Elkriver. Now to my surprise they named the race after me for the next year. I am humbled and proud to be apart of this great winter activity. Signed Coldbear.
Jeff- oh yeah. I knew the race was named after you Colbert. I missed that race itself. I didn't have fatbike then anyhow. I just remember all the fun we had with your name once we learned you survived the cold and all. Yeah, I by no means know who all the first riddlers we're. Fun to chatter about. Keep the hammer going this year. Sauber, your right Habs gets no purple point.
