Yes, this is functional art—when the cranks are turned, the chain moves the small chainring in the back, chainring has skewer "slappers" welded to it, and they smack the the cowbells! The tiny bicycle mounted on top bounces up and down with each whack like a crazed marionette! This trophy is heavy and loud and just too cool to be believed. Thank you to Tom Boring of Second Chance Sculptures for this amazing piece!
Bald Peak—like no other cross venue around. A fast and technical course with a mix of narrow trails and wide open spaces for exciting racing and viewing. Madison's Bar and Grill will host a barbecue and beer garden so bring cash!
Listen to race organizer Matt D'Elia on KBOO's Bikeshow, interviewed on September 3rd about Pain on the Peak! Listen in on their website.
