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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Ironman gives motos a wear & tear fee of $85 for working the race. In past years, we\u2019ve gotten really cool shirts, too!<\/p>\n

If you want more details, or are ready to say \u2018Yes!\u2019, please email me at ctoomer@comcast.net or call me at 720.219.1161.<\/p>\n

Thank you,

This could be a fun and interesting thing to do. I did it once<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

So anyway, just throwing it out there. Helping get the word out.<\/p>\n

Turning on your lights and siren after you lose a drag race is just poor sportsmanship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
