The Independent Baptist Preachers Mountain Bike Race

Just a reminder of what was stated at the beginning of this adventure called the Monocog Blog -

"A few years back I saw that my brother in law had a bike with out gears.  No derailleur, no shifter, no cables stretching from front to back.  Just a bike, wheels, chain, pedals and brakes.  I commented to him about his one speed bike.  “Singlespeed” he commented back.  Now it was a fat, knobby tired bicycle, one you take off road in the hills.  I thought, “what a way to torture yourself”.  Go ahead in time.  I now own a Redline Monocog.  I have had that bicycle for over 4 years.  Off road, in the hills, no shifting, just ride it, or sometimes walk it, if the trail is too steep. But there is where we get the name for this blog, and as the title says, it’s all about one. "

So with that theme in mind, lets put something out there that is not too popular among Independent Baptists, a challenge to race.  Here it is -

The Independent Baptist Preachers Mountain Bike Race, or IBPMBR for short. Some time in early May, just waiting for some preachers to sign up. So if you are a preacher, leave some information in the comment section.

Location is in the western border area of Arizona.  The course starts at 500' elevation, climbs up over 3500', and then down around 2400' before going up over 4000' and back down to the valley.  Temps will be warm and the terrain rough.  Total mileage approximately 75 miles.  No shorts or tank tops, let's keep a good testimony for the Lord.  Yes, this is serious! Any takers?  If so, let me know in the comments section.  If we can get a preacher or two interested, we could also have a short preacher's meeting,  though only doctrinally sound and separated preachers will be allowed to preach.  Dates are flexible, though early May would be best so as not to get too hot.

Sounds great to this preacher.  Now to see if there will be any other participants.

    I'll come. Maybe we could ride tandem? Or else I'll just be your moral support when you find yourself racing alone. :o) You need to send this invitation to the preacher in Durango.


    To the rest of your comenters:

    I'm the wife. :o)

  2. I'll be one of the cooks. You'll need a good meal when you get back. Roast beef, mashed potatoes, homemade bread, cooked vegetables? Does that sound good? :-)
