The Official (2014) Over the Hump Thread!!!

My head is spinning, as it always does beginning in April. Can't wait till the season starts.

May 20th, Over the Hump Race number 51 is about to kick off our best season ever. We've got some new classes, age breaks, and fun surprises waiting just for you.

But, what John and I look forward to the most, is hanging out with our friends (You), all summer long on Tuesday nights. You don't have to race to participate, just come enjoy the community, have a beer, a burrito, and enjoy the Summer Sunset at Irvine Lake with your dirty friends.

If you are looking for fun, family, fellowship, and community around set to the candlelight of your bike, then might as well take that two wheel beast of yours and compare stories with your STR Family at the Hump.

Fun time tonight...dusty and crowded

 

I was reminded before, during, and after today's OTH is that the most important result we take from this event is the camaraderie of competition, new and old friends, and stories that we share that inspire each of us on our rides outside of Tuesday nights.

It may or may not involve a pint glass.

Maybe it's the recovery beer talking, but I'd like to think not.

You guys know who you are. Thanks...and see everyone next Tuesday.

 

Two words "loved it"

 

had a good time hanging out with the cowbell crew. a bit rusty with the camera, but still had fun.

 

Thanks.........

During the last lap I liked hearing "if you want more cowbell you need to pedal faster!"

Funny stuff

 

OTH is always a blast. It's been almost a year since I last enjoyed that post race dust cough. Here's to 11 more weeks of coughing up dust on my co-workers on Wednesdays!

 

# 386 wearing the Red Zone kit Thanks!
