Don's Bikes Hell Ride 2009 Wrap-up

Thanks to everyone who came out this year and made this ride such a success. As most people found out, the ride isn't quite as hellish as it is fun, but I guarantee you that everyone experienced some level "hell" along the way!

Ride
- 43 riders, 2 main groups, 4 guides (AL, Rob, Russell, Margaret)
- an undetermined number of crashes, flat tires and cliff excursions...

GPS
- 5:39 hrs, 36.86 miles, 6924 ft down, 2143 ft up


Aftermath
- 4 $25 Don's Bikes gift certificates, 1 gift certificate for a bike at cost!
- an undetermined number of beer and pizza consumed :)


It was great meeting so many new folks (from Socal and STR) and thanks again for coming out!
We'll post more stuff shortly, but feel free to add your comments or stories here as well.

Cheers,
AL & Russell (Don's Bikes Race Team)


Special thanks to Don's Bikes of Rialto for sponsoring the event!

  4. Somebody searching for a trail blazing bicycle that can run impeccably in startling downhills, a rough and sloppy straight and long hard rides ought to consider either the hard tail or the light to medium weight suspension off-road bicycle. Sale Mountain Bikes
