Team: Bach Auto
Class: Clydesdale
(In a Schwarzenegger voice) "Yah ... We'll be Bach." Why do we keep doing this? Like a moth to a flame, it hurts to get burned, but we just keep coming back for more. Maybe we will move from DFL to penultimate. Look for the team of big guys having the most fun. Whoo Hoo!

We started with Canaan and haven't stopped since! Intoducing a fantastic feast with: Big Mac - 275lbs of pure beef; Fries - a butterball held up by two golden toothpics; Shake - you would too if you had friends like us; Carrot Stick - because he doesn't eat meat and it is the only thing left on the menu. Dig in boyz and let the games begin!!

We plan on sweeping the leg and putting Danielson in a body bag. We are doing this because I was at the 24hrs of Moab last fall to support my brother-in law and his team. They are coming out, so I decided to race them. Let's see who does beter, us or the Colorado Mountain Goats in Duo Pro.

Team: Dark Riders of Flordor
Class: Duo Open
Lap Times Explained: If someone's lap time (in this example, Jason's) should start to rack up some considerable digits (say, 5:42:43) it's not his time. He's not slow. It's actually a measure of Ryan's time spent passed out in his tent like a girlie man. Let's remember that Ryan is 10 years younger than Jason, AND he shaves his legs (and possibly more, but I can't/won't confirm that.)

Team: Dr Skip's Medicine Show
Class: Men's Veteran (35+)
Yeah daddy, here we come again. We just don't know when to stop. Dr Skip's Medicine Show rides in honor of long-time team supporter, doctor, pharmacist, cook, bartender, keeper of the medicinal jar O' mountain nectar, lackey and friend, Skip Cooper. We are also dedicating our ride this year (no matter how bad we do) to longtime friend and local cycling icon Tom McCurry who was seriously injured late last year in a cycling accident. We are made up of 6 time Snowshoe/Big Bear Veteran Brian "Duckman" Archer, 7 time Snowshoe/Canaan and Big Bear Veteran Rob "Rockboy" Horn, Michael Ritter who is back for his 4th go, and Bob "The Great White Goat" Lamberson coming back for his 3rd time. Another important part of DSMS is team mechanics and honorary hillbillies, Kyle Bova and John Twist who are coming all the way from St Louis, Mo just to make sure our train keeps on keeping on. New news: Kyle and Twister cannot make it so Ron "The Mad Hungarian" Istvan is heading out with Rockboy from St Louie to give support and have some major Granny Gear fun. Fueled by beer, adrenalin, Aerosmiths "Train Kept A Rollin", and sheer lack of respect for pain, we are on a life-long quest for singletrack nirvana. Special thanks to the following: New Belguim Brewing Co, St. James Gate Brewery, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, Highland Brewing Co, Schafly Brewery, Cytomax, Coca-Cola, Titus Cycles, Yeti Cycles and all our tribal bros, Seven Cycles, Jamis Cycles, Hayes Brakes, Stans NoTubes, Panaracer, SRAM, Voodew Lubes, Fox Racing Shox, Rockshox, Cane Creek, Niterider, Light & Motion, Warriors Path State Park, The Cherokee National Forest, Pedros, Granny Gear,NTMBA, GORC, The Clarks Creek Trails, The Laurel Fork Trails,Warriors Path State Park, The dirt, rocks and roots we ride on, IMBA, caffiene, The Mark Twain National Forest, The Chubb Trail, and the drug known as caffiene. Kudo's to all of our former teamates who have been there with us and to those who will follow in our knobby tracks. Extra special, super-duper thanks to: Our wives and families who put up with our sorry asses and our training and complaining all year so we can come out and do what we love to do. Also to all our friends, NTMBA, and especially Bill Devendorf, you inspire us all.

May 1988 Mike Tyson dents his Bentley convertible in a traffic accident in Manhattan. He gives the $183,000 car to two cops, later resulting in their suspensions. 17 Jun 1988 Robin Givens publicly accuses husband Mike Tyson of domestic violence. Jun 1988 "Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her." 27 Jun 1988 Mike Tyson knocks out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds. 4 Sep 1988 Mike Tyson crashes his BMW into a tree. The New York Daily News reports three days later that it was a suicide attempt. 9 Apr 1989 Mike Tyson allegedly slaps around a parking attendant in Los Angeles. 1 Nov 1990 A New York City civil jury awards Sandra Miller $100 for battery after an incident in which boxer Mike Tyson grabbed her breasts, insulted and propositioned her. The jury found Tyson's behavior "not outrageous." Mike certainly has a way with women. 18 Jul 1991 In his hotel room, boxer Mike Tyson rapes Desiree Washington, a Miss Black America contestant. 26 Mar 1992 Mike Tyson is sentenced to 6 years in prison, which he begins serving immediately. 8 May 1992 Mike Tyson is found guilty of disorderly conduct and threatening a guard. 25 Mar 1995 Mike Tyson is released from prison. 28 Jun 1997 During the third round of a title fight, boxer Mike Tyson is disqualified after biting off a one-inch portion of Evander Holyfield's right ear. 29 Oct 1997 Mike Tyson crashes his motorcycle in Connecticut, suffering a punctured lung and a broken rib. 31 Aug 1998 Mike Tyson's Mercedes is rear-ended in Gaithersburg, Maryland. According to subsequent lawsuits, Tyson kicked one driver in the groin and punched another in the face before being restrained by his own bodyguards. Oct 1998 "I know I'm going to blow one day. . . . My life is doomed the way it is. I have no future. I feel bad about my outlook, how I feel about people and society, and that I'll never be part of society the way I should." Oct 1998 "A lot of young women don't know what they're getting themselves into. A lot of them think it's fun, a game. . . . But they truly don't know what they're into when they lock themselves into a room and engage in sex with a man who knows how to handle a woman." Nov 1998 "I think I'll take a bath in his blood." June 2006 Tyson retires from boxing to wrench for team FiretrUCK.

Hand over some Twizzler's to Chris and he may give you a piece of firewood to stay warm. Rob is a sucker for Gummy Bears that have been sittin' warm in your pocket all day. Gordon likes anything with the word Fuzz attached to it. Dave always sleeps with a half empty beer outside his tent. Bring him a refill and he will help ya up the hill. Always come prepared to the race with marshmallows, and chocolate. Buy LOTS OF WOOD and make a large bonfire and the party will come to you. Just make sure that others bring the gram crackers. Beer is a hot comodity that all should bring with them in mass quantities. Mix a lager with Hammer Gel and that is all the fuel you need for a lap.... trust me on this one.

This is year 7. And the question keeps coming up, why do we keep coming back? We consistently come in the bottom third of the results, we frequently get tired and only twice have we successfully had someone on the course for all 24 hours. You'd think that sometime during the previous 6 years, we would have figured out the secret formula of cliff bars, goo, gatorade and spaghetti that would allow us to actually compete, or we would have given up. I mean you can only take so much disappointment... Maybe one more year will do it, and hopefully the elvi will be back.

Team: Rail Trail Riders
Class: Just For Fun
The Rail Trail Riders - more than 200 years of cycling experience. You may ask "why are rail-trail riders entering a 24 hour mountain bike race?" We are riding at Big Bear to raise awareness and support for the 51- miles of the Mon River and Deckers Creek Rail-Trails in north central WV. Why, because not everyone is able to enjoy (or withstand) the bone-jarring, heart-stopping, lung-popping thrills of mountain biking. And we all know how great cycling is for our health and well-being. The Mon River Trails Conservancy's goal is to provide a safe, smooth, relatively flat place to cycle for the non-mountain bikers of the world. Visit www.Montrails.org to learn more.
