Team: 4F Class: Men's Veteran (35+) Team 4F trace their origins to a landfill where Rusty (2nd from the left) met Bill (2nd from right) -- and yes, that's real blood on his face. Anyways, Bill and Rusty started riding together and eventually teamed up with Tim (far right) for some Triathalons and various adventure races. Carl is Tim's neighbor and voila, 4F was born. 15 12 15 12Carl Kelly (far left) - Hasn't broken any bones in about six months so he's due. 15 12 15 12Rusty Trapp (second on left) - Has actually TRAINED for this thing and is beating the crap out of the rest of the team. 15 12 15 12Bill Pierce (second from right) - Hasn't trained and is still beating the crap out of Tim and Carl. 15 12 15 12Tim Lease (far right) - "I'm okay, I don't think it's gonna need stitches". Tim's just plain nuts, so he's beating the crap out of Carl. |

Team: Boomerang Class: Men's Veteran (35+) Named for a local training hill (fun going out, hurts like hell coming back), Team Boomerang returns for its 3rd campaign at Snowshoe in 2002. We are a team of 35+ men from the DC suburbs who can't seem to get enough of knee-deep mud at 3:00 AM. 15 12 15 12Team Members (L to R): 15 12 15 12Clarence: Senior member of the group. Lead rider in 2001. While conscious, an excellent chef. Will try to ride over or down anything. Loves the Power Line descent. Has been known to injure himself by clearing massive obstacles, then falling over while trying to unclip. Specializes in losing the baton. Great with bolt cutters. 15 12 15 12Mitch: Team Captain. Will never be lead rider because he will instinctively try to carry his bike on the running part. Master of the 3AM lap. Also master of the 3AM bonk. Vows to train for this year's race by stacking all his lawn furniture in his back yard and riding over it and also by running laps in the shallow end of the pool while carrying his bike. 15 12 15 12Russ: Lead rider in 2000. Only member of the team to successfully climb "Spelt Hill" on the local training loop. Exists primarily on spelt bread muffins. Fell on a road ride last year and lost his memory, then hummed the theme from "M*A*S*H" during the helicopter ride to the trauma unit. Unnamed team member took that chance to tell him that he'd raced "really fast" last year at Snowshoe and we were counting on him to do it again. Famous bonk in 2000's race solved by dozens of spectators hurling fruit at him from the deck of the bike shop. 15 12 15 12Bill: Will be lead rider in 2002. Recorded last year's fastest team lap and also rode two consecutive laps. Only team member to fall asleep in mid-sentence. Trains by riding road centuries. Still uses water bottles rather than hydration system so he can squirt those pesky riders who won't move over. Has distinct height advantage. |
Team: Borracho Class: Men's Sport BORRACHO STILL INTENDS TO RIDE AT SNOWSHOE!!!!! 15 12 15 12The elite racing team known only as “Borracho,” that is based out of a secret location in the Northern Virginia area, has announced that they will again be laughing in the face of tragedy, and race the 24 Hours of Snowshoe. 15 12 15 12New team rider Ryan Sasse was recently injured during a World Cup “friendly” match qualifier. He was brutally tackled from behind in an attempt to keep the U.S. team out of the World Cup, but they have also persevered and made it to the quarterfinals at the time of this writing. Meanwhile, Team Borracho has called upon 24-hour veteran rider Matt Mcivor to come support the team in the event. 15 12 15 12Matt has ridden Snowshoe before, and is believed to be able to help the team get past the three-lap hurdle. While rumors abound of Mcivor’s history of doping for big events, he claims that is all in the past. When asked about it, his response was, “This year I intend to only use what God gave me, as well as anything else I can beg, borrow or steal from my friends.” 15 12 15 12The team is still rounded out by veteran Borracho members Jason Miller and Pete Luongo, as well as newcomer Andy Scranton. The team has been training since last week to get back into shape for the race since the loss of Ryan had spun them into a well of despair. While dreading the portent of having to race with three true riders and a blow-up doll, Team Borracho spent their mornings, afternoons and nights buried in handles of tequila. (Note: El Toro is NOT good with cereal!) However, according to Jason Miller, they intend to “Ride like the wind. Not a strong wind, more the kind that comes out when you burp up the Olympia you just funneled.” 15 12 15 12Be warned Red-Headed Step Children. Team Borracho is back with a vengeance and only a small semblance of a liver. |

Bazzer, a Web designer with the body of a young Greek God, [one of the lesser known deities, but a God none the less]. 15 12And Steve, a Buckeyes fan who listens to Electronic music and rides his bike into trees fairly frequently. 15 12 Team credo is 15 12" Start slow, taper off". 15 12 15 12We extend love and kindness to all other riders, we have coffee and a large First Aid Kit. Stop by if you have need of either. 15 12Hardware: 15 12Bazzer, Jamis. 15 12Dave, Sampson. 15 12Steve, Trek [ but lusts after a Jamis Komodo]. 15 12Andy, Dean. 15 12Software: We are all total label junkies but pretend otherwise. |
Team: Calleva Outdoors Class: Men's Sport Well, all four of us work for or have worked for Calleva Outdoors at some point, as counselors, running programs, and so on. All of us are good bikers so we figured that we would put a team together and attempt the 24 hours at Snowshoe. We decided, who better to be our sponsor than Calleva. Unfortunately, Calleva said that they would only sponsor us if we won the race. After much deliberation we told them we would win, of course we all had our fingers crossed behind our backs. So, hopefully we wont let them down. But if we do, at least we will get some free T-shirts out of it. |

Team: Charleston's Angels Class: Women's Expert Jumping big logs, crossing creeks, climbing mountains -- it's all in a day's work for Charleston's Angels -- as they dish out equal doses of endurance, skill and lethal feminine charm to survive their riskiest assignments ever... 24 Hours of Snowshoe and the Hi-Tech Adventure Triathlons. Undercover as mountain bikers, runners and kayakers, the Angels continue to search for clues and further infiltrate the male-dominated racing scene. They're beautiful, they're brilliant and they work for themselves (forget Charlie!) The sexy, high-octane team includes Robin Broughton, Sarah Crandall, Amy Tolliver and Lisa Lucci -- all from Charleston, WV. 15 12 15 12Note: The Angels have changed one of our members. Sadly, we have lost Amy Atkins to a strange medical disorder called "pregnancy." The doctors say it could have been prevented, but Amy and her husband Doug don't seem to mind-- even with the main side effect "disfiguring abdominal growth." But anyway, we are VERY proud that Lisa Lucci, a.k.a. Quads O' Steel, will be taking her place (and taking her birth control). |

Team: Conglomo Class: Men's Sport My first year at the 24 Hours of Canaan I hit a big damn cow that was black (I believe angus in origin).

I ate a large fillet after the race to ensure his extinction and once again assert human dominance atop domesticated food animals. 15 12Team members Stephen and Chris are some up rising teenage riders with talent. 15 12Jeff and I (jeremy) are two fattening college kids trying to stay in shape.

Hope to finnish higher each year maybe in about 3 go for a win. 15 12 15 12Got a squirrel in my new Mavic 517 spokes the other day the poor bastard never had a chance, unfortunately the thicker than usual spokes folded him like a taco and spit him out into a low tree. We buried the poor guy by the trail, each dropped in a small piece of our kroger harvest bars (with nuts) and sent him on his way. He was survived by an estimated 40 siblings. 15 12 15 12I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.-Jeremy |

Team: Debello Class: Men's Sport When we are presented with something that is new and completely foreign to us we are faced with something outside of our comfort zone. We are taught through socialization to mistrust the new and different. We teach our children to learn from the adults and their wisdom yet we forget as adults that we too need to learn from the children. In attempting to learn to be an adult we forget the wisdom of being a child. 15 12 15 12There is great wisdom in trusting ourselves and following our spontaneity to express itself in the world. We allow the elements of our inner boundaries, 15 12fears and beliefs prevent us from permiting ourselves to embrace the joyful and playful inner child. By having more fun and letting out this inner child 15 12we may believe that we will be laughed at or ridiculed by the adults around us that take life “seriously”. We, like the other serious adults around us, have accepted the dogma of not enjoying life and its acceptance as normal, especially when we see others not enjoying life. As adults, many have lost touch with a deep and ever-present need to experience lightness, glee, trust 15 12and simple fun. We have all but forgotten these basic elements of a life of well being. 15 12 15 12When you are eighty years old you will not remember the day-to-day working hours, but rather you will remember those moments when joy smiled upon you. Start now, cultivate and nurture your quality of abandon and remember what it is like to be a child. Let go of the resistance to remain an adult and open up to your joyful inner child that exists within. |

He made us promise 15 12that he could go back down to it right after the race is over. That is if the law don't come and yank him off the course in the 15 12middle of the race for escaping from the overseas prison. Jason is still in the race and hoping to elude his parol officer until 15 12the end of the race. He was talking about going down the New Orleans with Harry and hiding out after the race so we hope he makes it. 15 12His parole officer is one big dude,so I hope he doesn't catch up with Jason during the race. So if you see him riding like hell and 15 12screaming his head off, HIDE HIM QUICK!! And look for the guy on the course with a cigarette in both hands, and coughing his head off, 15 12that will be TJ. He is down to 2 packs a day now, so thats not bad. And James will be the one weaving all over the course, because like I 15 12said earlier, the only reason he is going to be there is that we told him that this is the 24 hours of drinking, so watch out for the "intoxicated James." 15 12So we'll see you all there!!!!!!!!!!!

The charasmatic standouts from last years 2nd place ladies FL DIVAS and the timelessly unplaceable TEAM BULL legacy have pulled it together for another rush at the summit! Improvements to this years team include new even lower standards, kung-fu grip, a catchy new moniker and an entire support staff of 5th grade or below. This reporter recently cornered the Bulvas at the Betty Ford center and took several quotes completely out of context: 15 12 15 12Yella spurs-"We're pretty confident this'll be the sixth straight year of us being the fastest team we know made up of us" 15 12Ali Oops-"We're gonna be on Letterman, right??" 15 12Guspacho-"Huh??

Team: Girls Love Dirt! Class: 5 Person Coed (At least 1 Female) Girls Love Dirt! is a loose-knit, unofficial group of drinkers in the Washington, DC area who occasionally like to get together and ride their bikes. Although GLD was officially formed in the spring of 2001 as a team in training for the Washington DC AIDSRide, the true origins of GLD are less clear. Some say it has existed since the beginning of time; others say that it never could have existed prior to the the invention of alcohol. Nevertheless, experts agree that, although it had not been officially formed or named at the time, GLD was present at history's first so-called "happy hour," and they have been in attendance, at least in spirit, at every happy hour since. 15 12 15 12About 30 members of GLD participated as riders or crew in the 2001 Washington DC AIDSRide last year, raising more than $600,000 in donations for Food and Friends and the Whitman-Walker Clinic. About 10 members participated in the 2002 AIDSRide, and the 5 members particpating in Snowshoe raised more than $2500 for the American Lung Association of West Virginia. |

Team: RUBBER BALLS & LIQUOR Class: Men's Sport CHUCK T: team Geezer. Resembles a post-middle-aged version of Kyle from the movie "Road Trip". Lives in the state of perpetual frustration. Actually appears to move in slow motion relative to everyone around him, as if trapped in some old "Star Trek" time-warp episode. Can't get up and get dressed in 3 hrs., what makes anybody think he's gonna' ride a lap in 2 hrs? Most likely to say f*** 36 times in one sentence while describing how he trashed an $800.00 wheelset trying to bunny-hop an empty soda can in the parking lot. 15 12 15 12MIKEY P.: team Gremlin. Crazed midget with anti-social tendencies. Starts more trouble than a minister's teenage daughter in heat on an overnight school trip. Loves to ride your rear wheel while screaming the "berserkr song" from "Clerks". Exhibits homo erotic behavior on night rides & road trips. 17th best bike mechanic in D.C., but that was '97. Most likely to fart deafeningly at the dinner table, then laugh 'til milk shoots out his nose. 15 12 15 12CRAPPER JOHN: The Phantom Pooper. Frequent disappearances off-trail in mid-ride are accompanied by sound effects of rutting wilderbeests, then a 40-year-old truck tire with a pinch flat. Spontaneous defoliation of surrounding plant life follows. Reacts violently to impropper passing ettiquette by other riders, yanking them off their bike and punting their water bottle into the nearest stream. Most likely to hide a turd in your sleeping bag while you're on a night lap. 15 12 15 12MR.CLAY: team Contrarian. Unlikely combination of Ted Kazinsky and Madonna. Irrationally offended by the mere presence of other people, he has retreated to a remote rural compound with striking similarities to the Branch Davidians' and Ruby Ridge. Spends approximately 30% of his time with his posterior exposed. Most likely to complain simultaneously of a chapped taint and that the course wasn't rough enough. |

Team: Taint Sore Abit Class: Men's Sport It all started back at Canaan 95' when Eddie the Goat brought forth the sufferfest (mudfest). From then on the team name and members have changed but the will to suffer has remained. 15 12 After many hard miles on the dirt and cold post ride beverages we now believe we have a solid team for decades of Snowshoe to come. Our leader/founder is Eddie "The Goat" Miller, Co-Captain for year four is Rob "The Rockboy" Horn, Brian "The Duckman" Archer is back for his third year, and new to the team is Mike "Mikey" Lewis. 15 12 We live for hard climbs, KNARLY rocky, rooty downhills, and the most important Sophisticated Otter "One Eyed Porter". 15 12 Adreneline, Cold Beverage, and No Fear! That is our creed. Our Motto as Rob said at the end of the 2000 Snowshoe. 15 12 "NO PAIN, NO FUN! 15 12 15 12Emergency Note: Well, Rob THE Rockboy is out for 2002. It seems that he had a Memorial Day accident with a campfire and attempted to fry his Bronchil Tubes (breathing good, not breathing bad) by inhaling super hot smoke. New nickname: Kaptain Kingsford! 15 12 The doc says Rob is off the bike for Snowshoe and must so we bring Rob into the new position of team wrench/support. Rockboy always said he would like to just be a professional spectator one time before he heads to the great trails in the sky. The Mtn bike gods and the gods of fire must have got together and decided this is the year and laid down regulation. 15 12 15 12 We are proud and honored to announce that fellow Epic local hard ridin NTMBA member Paul Raecke (Paul is new to East TN hillbilly country straight from Belgium) has stepped up to eat, sleep, and ride the Shoe in Robs place. 15 12 Due to this team change a team name change may be pending. How about Three Hillbilly's and a Belgium? 15 12 A big thanks to Paul for stepping up. 15 12 Peace out and always Ride Hard or Go Home! |

In the months leading up to last year's race, two of our team members suffered separated shoulders. Our team captain had the great thrill of four surgeries, complete with pins and screws. But hey, when this is what you live for, you just gotta get back in the saddle. 15 12 15 12{Editor's Note: Granny thinks you guys rock!

You think we make excuses, no we just suck but we have a ball. We can't wait for 2002. Look for us and our wretched shirts. |

Team: Whasssabi! Class: 5 Person Coed (At least 1 Female) A group of friends who enjoy the trash talking comradre of mtn. biking once again find themselves entered in ANOTHER GG 24 hour race! It always starts out reminiscing about past rides or races with who ate dirt, who went to the hospital, who whined the most, and who out rode whom. Pretty soon the smack talking starts as we each take turns teaming up and picking on each other. Eventually and inevitably someone says - "You know we should do that race again!" 15 12 15 12Our team is comprised of 3 veterans of GG racing, each with at least 6 races under their belts. I, El Capitan, would be considered the most "experienced" racer. I think they just want to see me eat it coming into the finish again while trying to drink a beer (1999 Canaan). The second in command is the dynamic-duo husband and wife team of Dale and Jan Ramsey. Last year we got Jan drunk enough to not only convince Dale to end their honeymoon racing at Snowshoe, but for her to VOLUNTEER to do the start! Some of you may recall sightings of them with a veil on their helmets and "Just Married" signs pinned to their backs! The remaining two teammates are still rookies to the 24 hour scene - Jason B. completed '01 Moab on Team Lattice Group, without killing himself (his nickname is Sir Crash-a-Lot because of his innate ability to go big and crash harder). He is also our team videographer who somehow managed to only get race footage of himself in Utah?? That brings me to our newest sucker...I mean rider, Jason T. We managed to fib a bit about how easy the race course was last year at Snowshoe (can you say ankle deep mud for 10 km?). We tricked him into signing the waiver, and had his ladyfriend pay his entry fee so we could use him to create some new stories to entertain our other friends with (ahhh the amazing effects of Flaming Lambourghini's!). Good luck to all! |
