WHY BANDIT RACING IS ALWAYS FUN

OUT HERE IT'S PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT ON A LEGIT ROAD RACE. Trust me, I was the last one to put one in these parts. Had to deal with dense, urban, few open roads, 2 police/sheriff jurisdictions, 2 cities, the county, 3 water districts, fire dept, etc...

... which is why bandit races are the happening thing.

Can I get a Hellyeah!

No we didn't blow and lights or cause too much of a ruckus.  But, we did get a group of marauders and lit up the local roads with some fastfast times...

... consummated with a rolly, climby crescendoie explosive finish.

One aspect I love is because there are a few bucks on the line and an "official" standing, it's peppier and spicier than normal...

... even though it's mostly the same ol' guys and gals.

There were some cash premes at the regular hot spots,  I even sponsored a RaceDay Bag™...

... for the last person up the vicious Mojeska grade!

Keep it fun.

And, as Chuckles said...

I'm glad I did this instead of the mountain bike race today.

Yeah?

Yeah, nobody's gonna see my name at the bottom of the finisher's list.

While true road racing suffers in CA, bandit racing is on!

Find one.

Create one.

You're sure to have a great time...

... all it takes is a Strava post and a couple of hundies from the usual suspects.

Shout out to the great JH (gotta protect the promoters' ID) for makin' Blake Silver happen!!

I managed to hit 49.5 mph, which was a tad sketchy considering the very windy conditions.

Had a nice taillight, but was wishing I had a my headlight going too.

If you're into being seen well in advance, I highly recommend you get lit.
