With the Cx Worlds out of the way it is time for the NECS/MRC season to commence. Normally we would open the Non Race series with Top Chef's premier event, the Chinaman 100k but with the post surgical recovery taking a bit longer then anticipated and C-Dubs inability to translate at this time, the event has been postponed until a warmer time of the year.
But that hasn't stopped El Obamador from his evil ways. Yes, Saturday 4/20 (please note the correctness of the date), the Bear Mountain Beatdown will roll. As you might recall from last year many of us were brought to our knees sobbing like a little kid that dropped his ice cream cone after all of the climbing was done. This year there will be even moar, some dirt roads (this this is the latest craze in non racing), and a special extra credit summit that rewards all that conquer with a Bear Mountain Ale from the Defiant Brewery (maybe this will get the Mayor to finally join).
A scant 6 weeks later on Memorial Day weekend Sunday will be the Gran Fondo, a kinder and gentle version that has no major climbs but a bunch of rollers and some choice back road riding. Keep reading for moar updates.
