The 24 Hours of Big Bear weekend is here, and as usual, I can't focus on a thing today. It turns out that the tireless efforts of a longtime 24 hour race teammate, I find myself riding with a team again this weekend. This year it will be Rides With Scissors - "defining a state of mind" according to the team captain (as opposed to Riding With Scissors, our previous team name, which defines and "action"). Nevertheless, I am ready to hit that sweet singletrack.

Another Journey to Big Bear

By rbart814 on 6/5/2007 on rbart814's blog
Groups: 24 Hours of Big Bear (WV)

June has begun, signaling another year almost halfway spent and the irresistible pull of the mountains has me scurrying around looking to pull a team together by the end of the week. This year, however, things will be different for me up at the airstrip that is the 24 Hours of Big Bear venue. I have signed on to be a correspondent for yourMTB.com and Granny for this year's race. I'm stoked to have been chosen, and I'm looking forward to having the chance to share my take on the race with , well, anyone with the gumption to feast his or her eyes on the yourMTB.com blog.
