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

Most favorite accomplishment is having completed the Ouachita Challenge 3 years in a row, including a 6:09 finish in 2010. My next goal is to complete it on my single speed. Also, 2nd place overall in Cat 3 XC 2012.
What is your first memory of riding a bicycle? I don’t remember my first bike, I don’t even remember learning to ride a bike. What I do remember however is when my bike was stolen from my backyard when I was a child. That was the first time I remember ever feeling heartache.
Why do you ride a bicycle?
I ride bikes to break free from reality. Its my outlet, and without it I would probably go nuts. Riding bikes also lets me enjoy tacos and beer without feeling too much guilt.
What does Bearded Women mean to you?
It means I have friends!

The Dirty Dozen and Frozen OCNP

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The first time in our young team’s history we were able to field solid groups of racers for two coinciding endurance races on the same day in different parts of the state!  Mind you, we’ve been going to the Dirty Dozen Endurance Mountain Bike Race for years as individuals, but this time around it was even more meaningful to those that participated.  You see, it was our unofficial one year anniversary as a team.  It’s inception came from a late night of good times around a campfire, and the dream to start a club team we all hoped would draw people to racing for fun and competition.

Last year, we placed 4th overall in the 12 hr, 4 man open category, so we were looking to improve on our very first placing and payout.  This year we fielded 2 four man teams for the 12 hr race, and 1 two man team for the 6 hr race, all male.  We’ll get our first women racer soon!  The day was perfect, as the temperatures were comfortable, it was overcast, and there was an ever so slight, on and off rain fall throughout the day which made for a very compact and fast course!  The top group entered of Jesse Bernal, Brad Wendling, Nathan Delahoussaye, and Marcus Gillespie hung around the 2nd and 3rd place spot the entire day, and finished in 3rd place on the podium, the highest placing our team as ever done at this event!  A mechanical caused an issue on one lap, but each guy was putting in consistent lap times to keep them in contention.  The next 4 man group consisting of Jonathan Braddick, Moreece Griffin, Logan Davis, and James Henson were keeping pace.  Moreece and Logan were participating in their first 12 hour endurance race, and both exceeded their own expectations!  The 6 hr, 2 man group consisted of our first father and son racers, Michael and Austin Ham.  Both live in Brian/College Station, and were entering their first ever endurance race!

In the end all groups did an amazing job, but furthermore the weekend tightened and strengthened our resolve to field an even bigger group for next year’s race!

Here are the overall results from the Dirty Dozen Endurance race in Warda, TX:

Back up in the DFW area, another important race was happening in Oak Cliff at the Oak Cliff Nature Preserve.  DORBA’s Frozen Endurance series had endured two cancellations from mother nature in the form of winter and fire, leaving the series without a completed race.

The team fielded 6 racers, new Cat 1 racing member Mike D’ Aurelio and last year’s Best Endurance Race Placing winner Randy Davis in the 6 hr open, new Cat 3 racing member Corey Fawcett and new Cat 3 racing member Armando Zermeno in the 4 hr open, and Shane Walden and Wes Salas as a team in the 6 hr relay.

Overall, BWR had a total of 16 racers on a dirt single track, grinding away and putting all of their heart and legs into it this past weekend.  Congratulations gentlemen!
