Coolest 24 hour race: Written by Roger Lackey
Coolest 24hr Race.
Teammates: MatthiasCat: Single Speed Solo OpenFinish 2nd of ? (Fourth overall.)Miles covered: 241.5 Elevation Ascended: 29,400 feet (estimated at 1400 per lap)
A couple things I remember....
1. The pics/rememberances at the top of Knickerbocker climb every lap. I was thankful each time knowing my father has overcome his challenges...and my thoughts were with each of the families whose loved ones were not there in person but in spirit.
2. Seeing my co -pit racer Mary Allen (husband Sean is a stud endurance racer too) tackle her first 24hr race and knock out 17 laps (2nd place) in Team Motley Grinder (Auburn group of endurance cyclists and my adopted riding/training group) fashion.
3. The support from my crew (family, friends, and Motley Grinders) and the shove they gave me at the 8 hour blues mark and after dry heaving in the early A.M. Pepsi and pizza has never tasted so sweet after a good dry heave.
4. Coming into my pit at somewhere past 10 P.M. and seeing Amanda. Thanks for being there! She'd been home taking care of our 11 month old daughter who has bronchitis. She's getting better though.
5. Finding out somewhere around 9 a.m. I wasn't in first and the guy (Dez from Bear Naked Cannondale) was and was just leaving his pit. Think shock and endorphines mixed. I thought I was a lap up on 2nd...LOL what race was I at.
6. At 22+ hours stroking out a pace I didn't know I was capable of to close the gap and catch the guy by the ST. Finding out it was Dez who I've known for about four years and know is very very strong. But had no idea he was racing! Doh! Don't ask it's one of those things where I'm hearing one thing and my pit is telling me another. Lets just say I'm glad I pressed all night, cuz I thought I was a lap up on second place. Disclaimer here: Neither Dez nor I (including our crews) were exactly sure if he and I were on the same lap or he may have pulled a lap ahead. Due to being uncertain we both approached it as we were on the same lap. Given if in the final results I end up 2 down, my pit owes me a lot extra beer for the additional suffering that occurred. ;o)
7. Dropping Dez up the steep left hander on Salt Creek and pressing it to the end of the lap and seeing Dez NO WHERE behind me. And thinking I cracked him!
8. On the next lap, looking back on the double track climb after the pavement and seeing that damn Orange Giraffe on Dez' handlebar. Great come back by Dez!
9. Hitting Salt Creek with Dez on that lap and watching him pick up the pace and grab a passing team riders wheel and having nothing left in the tank to respond and cracked in a way I've never done before. Race over.
10. Knocking down To BASS beers after the race.
11. Going to change and realizing that I had a 4 inch by 6 inch open flesh wound on my arse. Yes it's a painful recovery....but I'm scabbing now....LOL!
12. Watching Jimmyboy be Jimmyboy and put on a good show for the folks and entertain the kids during the raffle, cuz it was apparent non of us were in condition to. Oh and my kid get some free swag from him.My Sycip bikes worked flawless, and my 26 wheel Diesel proved again to be the solid 24hr bike compared to my 29er. Given my 29er was rigid. ;o)
Also, I've been the "bridesmaid" not the bride seven times this year...what's up with that! LOLJeremy and Jay, Robert from Ventana said to say hello!

If you are a novice gambler you probably haven’t heard the term but professional bettors who earn their livelihood from sports betting use the method all the time taking advantage of the variance in odds from the opinions of the diverse number of bookmakers. Even though it sounds as if it is a no risk situation that may not always be the case and there some issues that can cause you to lose.
Still, there are tons of bettors looking through rose colored glasses for the holy grail of betting systems that will let them make money without risking any. Well, there is a way to do that and it is called work! Gambling is called gambling for a reason, it’s risky. Let’s take a look at some sports betting systems.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]sports bets[/url]
With this movement the United States has taken a different approach to online gambling. Whereas other countries are working with these services to regulate them, the United States is attempting to prohibit them once and for all. By doing this they are missing out on the ability to tax internet gambling instead of getting rid of it entirely. Conservative estimates have shown that taxing these services could make the government in upwards of $6 billion a year.
And finally, in the first article in this series I mentioned being honest with yourself, because one of the biggest lies I have found that a tremendous number of Bettors are guilty of is denying to themselves how many times their Base Bank has been busted! If you too are guilty of this, please remember that until you face up to the truth with the determination to do something about it, you can't expect to turn the situation round in your favour.
Everything about horse betting
We came across an article on ESPN.com written by Bill Finley entitled "2005 was a lousy year for horse racing." In his article Mr. Finley cites 9 reasons why 2005 was such a bad year for horse racing in America. Although we agree with several of his observations, number 8 on his list, "U.S. Pari-Mutuel Handle Falls", should have been dealt with more objectively.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse racing bookmaker[/url]
There are two main forms of horse racing. There is harness racing and thoroughbred horse racing. The form of horse racing, which is popular in most parts of the world, is thoroughbred racing. On the other hand, harness racing is popular in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, France, and Italy. Another form of racing popular in US is the quarter horse racing.
Perhaps the most important factor is the distance of these races, the Derby is a mile and a quarter (10 furlongs), the Preakness, a mile and three sixteenths (9.5 furlongs) and the Belmont at a mile and a half (12 furlongs) is the longest of the three. The horses that survive their attempt at the Triple Crown will seldom, if ever, compete at these distances again. And yes, survival is a consideration. Many Triple Crown hopefuls are never able to compete again after the Belmont, even potential superstars such as Smarty Jones in 2004.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horce racing bets[/url]
Barbaro with Edgar Prado on board has won all 6 of his lifetime starts, 4 of his wins in 2006 and all at distances of a mile or more (his first 3 races were on the turf). Barbaro will be the odds on favorite for the Preakness. Gone are the double digit returns when we picked him for the Derby so most of us are left looking for horses to combine him with for the exacta, trifecta and superfecta wagers. Even though we want to see him win, at the probable scant return for a win, one must look to see if there's a horse in the field that can best him.
