Flagstaff, Old-Fashioned Mountain Bike Race

So it’s that time of the year 8th Annual Absolute Bikes, St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance Flagstaff, Old-fashioned Mountain Bike Race August 22, 2009.

Decided that I mist last years race that I would come out this year and take photo’s of the race and the riders that I knew. I hear that there was all together 300 rides that turned out for the race.

That is a great thing since the proceeds of the race go to the Flagstaff Food Bank. They have had this race for the 8 years now and it is one fun race to be apart of.

This year I had few friends riding in the race Joe Beer, Simon, Paul, Carlo and their kids.

I also seen Jeff a Sales Rep from Electra Bikes: and Chris a Sales Rep from Shimano: both really great guy’s that I have known for a few years. There was also other Rep’s there from Specialized:, & Giant:.

Absolute Bikes of Flagstaff they did a great job in putting this ride together and getting all the riders to come out and ride. This years after ride ceremony was at Absolute Bikes Shop. I was going to go but there isn’t that much places to park.

I wish they would put the after ride ceremony back at Wheeler Park. There is more parking spaces and a big place for every one to come out. When it was at the park there were more venders and a Beer garden. They use to have a ride if you weren’t racing they had a tour ride that went on the trails north of town.

Well may be next years event it will be back to the same. I can’t wait till next years ride & I hope to see you all at the 9th Annual Absolute Bikes Race.
