Clash of the Snails is ON!!!!

The stage is set! The King of the Rockies "Clash of the Snails" showdown will take place on August 25th! The course will be 25.8 miles with 4011 ft. of climbing on beautiful Winter Park singletrack.

Now let's get to know our competitors! Also note that you can vote on the showdown at http://www.rideagainstthemachine.com/

Steve Truesdale is a registered coach and trackie for the last several years. An IronMan finisher who is relatively new to the dirt, but loving every minute of it, his main goal is to "beat DaLoo!" He comes in with good knowledge and a fighting spirit. He turns left very well!

Next up we have Derrick Bourgeois. Derrick was guilted in to the mix on the premise that he hasn't done any events with us this year, also that he could beat Truesdale. Derrick has the fight of a lion when his mind is strong and things are falling together for him. Hopefully he gets some good training in during the month of August and comes in at tip-top shape.

And lastly we have me... wheelie-ing on ice with studded tires... Probably would just be lolly-gagging this race if Truesdale's main goal wasn't to "beat DaLoo"... :)
