Tour de Nez hits Truckee

Since we all can and should bike more, Bio Bio Expeditions was proud to field three volunteers for the Tour de Nez bike race in down town Truckee!

Marc and Damara brought their new son Quinn and black lab Mosi down on two Xtracycles with Mr. Quinn in the Chariot trailer. Lars rode down into town on his 70’s something beach cruiser which he recently acquired at a garage sale for $10.

Lars entered his cruiser into the “one lap” sprint race called the “Clunker Classic.”
Rule 1: Bikes 32 lbs and over
Rule 2: Cheat

Well, Lars came in second, right behind a guy on a brand new tandem 24 speed Cannondale. Apparently, clunkers do not have gears, so in all reality Lars won!!! But, Mr. 1st place did abide by rule 1 and 2 so his win stands…..

Second place prize was a New Belgium Brewing company “Fat Tire ” biking shirt!!!!

And remember, when racing, peddle like you stole it!

See you out on the trail and on your bike!
