As I’m sure you’ve heard, the CBR Bike, BBQ & Brew Fest was goin’ off on Saturday.
As the event’s name suggests, lots of friends, bikes, and good times filled the day, and the night.
Check out the pictures here.
The day started off with a trail ride through Pittsfield, and the “Hussey-Fuzzy Trail”. Once back to Taylor and Carrie’s bike ranch, the festivities began.
Plenty of good food and drinks were on hand for an afternoon of mingling with friends and riding any of the countless bicycles strewn about. The “skinny” boards were a big attraction.
Then, as evening fell, the competition heated up.
First, the Short Track Beer Race. A single loop time-trial which put 3 strategically placed cups of beer between the riders and victory. The results:
- 1st – Quiet Mike
- 2nd – Taylor Clark
- 3rd – Kyle Clark
- 4th – Anthony Catauro (crashed)
- 5th – Judy Webber
- 6th – Ray Webber (rode fast, but drank too slow)
Then, the “Huffy Toss”, the results of which are still the source of major controversy. All I have to say is, if you’re gonna sneakily move the marking-cone to greater distances, make sure you move it to a realistic range. And never-ever try to prove you can hit that distance later, while everyone is watching! Not mentioning any names here… KYLE! (ok, I guess it took a good bounce, we’ll give it to him)
As is tradition, after the Huffy is tossed, it meets it’s end via the season capping bonfire. While we watched it burn, some reflected on a year of EFTA races, some considered the fumes rising from the exploding tires, some watched Caddy Shack… but I personally watched with an especially warm feeling. Yes, a joyful tear welled up in my eye as I observed this department-store-bike dying a slow death.
Bike Fest Highlights:
Thanks Clark Bros, Suncook Valley Fattire Club, and all involved. We’ve had so much fun this year, and continue look forward to what is always much more than just riding bikes.
