Here’s a little about their business:

Why do we ride? What is “PL”?
Power. Freedom. Legs.

Someone asked me once why I liked to ride and my answer was “power, freedom” and …….”legs”. Have you ever seen a cyclist that didn’t have great legs? bicidichi performance jerseys are for you whether you are a century rider or a weekend warrior, a mom, an athlete or both. When you ride, think”PL” …Power Legs… and there is no doubt you will go longer and stronger. It’s our mantra, and we think soon it will be yours too.

Johna Neal-Baker / Owner & Jersey Designer

Avid cyclist and artist, Johna Neal-Baker, launched the idea of bicidichi in June 2008, along with her multi-sport husband/best friend Ray Baker. Johna has been cycling most of her life: from the two ton 10-speed that was stolen in junior high to her current Trek Madone 5.1 WSD, she has always loved cycling. Currently, she owns a Trek hybrid, Trek road bike and a Specialized mountain bike…and a very old Bianchi road bike from 1989.

Ray Baker / Owner & Sales

Triathlete Ray Baker regularly competes in triathlons and marathons and is an IronMan Louisville 2009 finisher. Ray has always been an athlete and decided to combine his financial savvy and sales success with his love of all sports by forming bicidichi with Johna. Ray currently rides a Cervelo P2C, A Trek Madone 5.2 and he has a good ole Specialized mountain bike.

List and describe your bicycles I have one bicycle today, that being a Giant Talon, 29’er……..  Love riding the wheels off this thing.  My other bike is a Harley, and don’t think it qualifies……
List past racing accomplishments in any sport you’ve competed in
This was my first year, on a mountain bike, thusly, have been getting my feet wet, arms scraped, knees and legs, banged up, but steadily improving my skill set.
What is your first memory of riding a bicycle? My first bicycle, was a gift as a 6 or 7 year old.  Only thing I remember, was being the wrench that I was at the time, took my front wheel off, played with the bearings, and reassembled.  Took it down a long hill, one street over, did a wheelie, and then realized I had not tightened the axle nuts.  I was then catapulted over the handlebars, as the forks stabbed the pavement, landing on my chin.  I then ran screaming down the street, bleeding profusely, from said chin.  A neighbor heard me, tossed me in his car, and drove me to my grandparents house, and grandpa proceeded to take my to the hospital.  7 stitches later, my first ER visit, stitches, massive bandage, kinda shocked my parents, as they came to get me, that night…..Then it began….
Why do you ride a bicycle?
I decided to start riding a bike again, because I wanted to get back in shape, play outside, and stay out of traffic.  I know, ROUND IS a shape, but I wanted a ‘different’ shape, again.
It has awoken the kid in this old guy, and am having a blast doing it.
What does Bearded Women mean to you?
I know I’ve only been around you folks, once or twice.  My connection to you, is James Henson.  We used to do Boy Scout stuff, a long time ago.
I did help out at the last RCP Race, and hung with you guys, and you seem to have a blast, ride, and welcome others.  James asked if I’d be interested, and at that time, with my skills/ competence, was uncertain of my abilities to contribute to the team.  BUT, would like to support your efforts, hang out, ride, play, and maybe I can be a contribution to the team, down the trail.
Thanks for the opportunity……
BigKen (aka Santa)

List and describe your bicycles On-One 456 carbon 650b conversion.
It’s a 26″ frame with 650b Stan Flow EX’s wheels on 2.3 Neo Moto’s tires.  XT Hydraulic brakes, 2×9 X7 drive train.  150MM Fox Float Fork.
List past racing accomplishments in any sport you’ve competed in
Being able to finish races, each time getting better times.
What is your first memory of riding a bicycle? My first real memory was at River Legacy about 20 years ago on the old trails before they got closed down.  The old trail head was a long the road where the EKG/AEG is now.There was this downhill with a kicker at the bottom with a sharp left turn a few feet past it.  After a couple of times, I decided to take the kicker and landed too far before I could take the turn and ended up in a “pond” chasing my glasses before they could sink in the water.  Walked out stinking like funk with my dad and brother laughing at me.Probably one of the last few times I was on a bike till about 3-4 yrs ago, where once again I busted my butt at River Legacy but this time I keep on riding.
Why do you ride a bicycle?
For friends, for family, and a lot for the thrill.  Nothing like ripping down a hill at 25 mph, riding down some rock gardens holding on tight bouncing all over the place.
What does Bearded Women mean to you?
A group of individuals who love to ride and compete.  But most importantly the camaraderie and fun that goes a long with it.

Hotter than Hell 2014

HH100_Header_v2

There’s something to be said when a bunch of mountain bikers decide to take it upon themselves to road ride 100 miles in late August at the most notorious biking event in the country.  The infamous Hotter’n Hell Hundred, and the Wichita Falls weather did not let us down.  An air temperature of around 102 F and heat index of probably the surface of the sun couldn’t stop any of the Bearded Women Racing members who attempted the 100 mile/K endurance distances from completing the dastardly event.  Much fun was had at the expo checking out a few of our sponsors including ReGeared, Bicidichi, and Rudy Project, and after the ride at the casino, but we’ll keep this post family friendly!

Here are the team results and photos from the weekend:

  • Daniel Johnson, 100 mi:  06:14:21, M 30 – 34, 688 overall
  • Dana Cobb, 100 K:  05:15:06, F 45 – 49, 876 overall
  • Jonathan Braddick, 100 mi:  07:40:02, M 35 – 39, 1830 overall
  • Nathan Delahoussaye, 100 mi:  07:40:09, M 35 – 39, 1834 overall
  • Ben Leach, 100 mi:  09:42:18, M 30 – 34, 2994 overall
  • Keith Brewer, 100 mi:  07:32:50, M 45 – 49, 1729 overall
  • Corey Fawcett, 100 mi:  07:32:50 M 34 -39, 1730 overall
