Motorcyclists Needed For Bicycle Race
Monday, August 2nd, 2021
No, these are definitely not bicycle racers, but this is one of the very few photos I have of bicycles to illustrate this story about bicycle racing.
If you have the time and inclination on Saturday, August 7, your services as a motorcyclist are in need. Here’s an email Alan forwarded me.
For the last few years, I have worked various bike races with my motorcycle (moto), sometimes carrying a race official or photographer. The Moto organizer, Dale, is short 3 or 4 motos for the Boulder Ironman 70.3 on Saturday, Aug. 7.
The Ironman gives motos a wear & tear fee of $85 for working the race. In past years, we’ve gotten really cool shirts, too!
If you want more details, or are ready to say ‘Yes!’, please email me at ctoomer@comcast.net or call me at 720.219.1161.
Thank you,

This could be a fun and interesting thing to do. I did it once and it’s still a story I tell. One big difference between that race and this one is that it was cold then, and there was snow blowing as I led the racers down the road. That won’t be the case this time. Also, I was riding lead and this looks like they need bikers to carry passengers in their respective capacities.
So anyway, just throwing it out there. Helping get the word out.
Biker Quote for Today
Turning on your lights and siren after you lose a drag race is just poor sportsmanship.
