Win Free Solo or Team Slots at this 24 Hour Race
|
Want to race the Kona/Sleepless 24-hour race in Mountain Ranch, Granby, CO, on September 10th and 11th? Well, you’re in luck, Champy, because we’re giving away three solo team entries and five team entries. Here are the details:
|
SOLOIST? JUST PROVE YOU'RE SET TO SUFFER The three solo entries will be given away to the three most intrepid and hardcore racers. To win them, you must understand that doing a 24 solo is no big deal to us anymore. We want to know how much harder you plan on making it for yourself – will you do it on a one speed? Fixed gear? Will you fast for the event? Will you ride to and from the race, carrying all your gear? Will you go all the way solo, denying team support? Can you promise to be severely hung-over or otherwise disabled? Now you’re talking…
Send us a resume, a description of just how much further you’re willing to take this concept, and a photo of your own bad self, preferably utilizing as much artistic coercion as you can to help your cause. We will take the three hardest and weirdest of you, and you will race for free.
GUIDELINE FOR TEAM GIVE-AWAYS The remaining five entries must all be open (that’s co-ed, boys and girls) 5 person teams, except for the old farts’ team.
|
OLD FARTS’ TEAM The Legends class team is a four person expert class with a minimum 35-year age limit per racer. This one is simple. Whoever sends us a resume (don’t forget the photo, folks!) that boasts the highest combined age for this class wins the entry.
|
BIGSUMBITCH TEAM Next, we’ll be giving away an entry to the Clydesdale kings. Whoever submits the resume (photo too, please) that can claim the highest combined team weight gets a free entry. And if anyone does a miracle purge by race time, we’ll be bringing scales to the event to verify this one. Cheat on us and you’ll forfeit yer entry, and have to wash our bikes all weekend.
|
MASOCHISTIC TEAM We will award one entry to the team that comes up with the most masochistic team concept (resume, and photo, for our edification). Wanna share a 20 inch bike with tassles for the race? Wanna share clothes? Wanna ride unicycles? Wanna eat nothing but Spam? Great! Describe your plan in gruesome detail. Winner gets in free. We’re calling this one the “Hugh Jass Inspirational Award” in honor of Harrisonburg, Virginia’s finest cyclists.
|
CREATIVE/DEPRAVED TEAM And finally, whoever can create the most depraved word and photo essay describing the word “teamwork” will get the final entry. This one is a lot harder than it looks, folks, and the judging will be brutal. Most of you would have a better chance of bulking up a couple hundred pounds and flying the clyde flag, but if you think you’ve got what it takes, get inspired. We will fire out the entry to whoever comes tickles out imagination the most with this concept. And we will encourage lateral thinking and creativity.

THE LONG-HAUL TRUCKER CATEGORY This team entry will be granted to the open quintet that is willing to suck it up and drive the furthest to compete in this event. There are plenty of racers in Colorado for whom access to Winter Park is no big deal. But this entry is for those rubber-burning, white line fever, Golden Earring-listening, late-night gas station coffee swilling, No-Doz-pounding, mileage junkies. Who are you, how far are you coming from, what are you driving, and how bad do you want this? (Yes, we need a resume and photo, and a shot of your rig. 10-4...)
THE WRAP-UP There ya go. EIGHT free race entries, worth somewhere around $2600 total, just for getting a little creative on us. We here at BIKE have final say in all matters, and are liable to be swayed by bribes.
To be eligible for this contest, all applications must be sent to random_juggernaut@yahoo.com by August 21st, 2005.
Winners will be announced on August 25th and, hell no, we can’t fly you out to Colorado—you’re going to have to drive over there like everybody else. Okay, on yer marks. Get set. GO!
