This seems like a perfect venue for those that cannot hang with the big dogs going UP the hill (because they are old or their 'scrips ran out). Just ride the van up and let your big, fat ass take you down the hill.
Do you think I could get an invite?
Sarcasm is only ONE of the many services I provide. Contact me for all the details!
You got to kidding!!!! This must be a all time low for cycling. Where's my BMX bike. Slover
I dont care what anybody says the shit looks fucking fun, ha if only i was still riding, EZE just go out there and Bob Knight them bitches, i might have to get off work to go see the race.
Damon Kluck needs an invite.

what's the prize purse? do they really expect the euro boys to come over?
Get Dubberley an invite and he will win.
Chris Huber out of retirement.
That is my final selection.

don't get beat by the girl.
the only way Dubberly could win, is if the "race" involved running traffic lights, hopping medians, and cutting through gas stations...
thats funny... he rides like that...
my cash is on "I believe Tyler" Hamilton, after all he won an uphill tt just the other day!
Tyler will crash, what are you kidding??
This is so fucking stupid I don't know where to begin...
One, Joe Sixpack has no clue these people even are. So the 'star studded' field means jack shit. Anyone who DOES know anything about bike racing is gonna recognize this as a lame PR stunt.
Two, the truth is that watching a road descent is boring for non-cyclists. If you don't understand the technique, the only thing interesting will be the crashes. And there won't BE any crashes. This ain't like bombing a hill at a ski resort. You go over the side on a canyon road you could easily die. Even Thurlow's not gonna kill himself for some stupid Red Bull event.
My prediction is that the event won't even happen. Soon as the local homeowner's association finds out about the road closure, the permit will be revoked (assuming they've even got a permit yet, which I doubt).
What jackass is organizing this thing?
this event will probably net more cash to the organizers than any other event in the country. tv sells and i'd rather watch this than another flat office park criterium.
its a great idea as long as folks dont get too goofy with the equipment.
