12 Hours of Mesa Verde

The Big Wheel Racing Team rolled in Cortez, CO for the 2nd annual 12-hours of Mesa Verde Mountain Bike Race. Representation from the team was very high with Mike “Maniac” Mangan entered in the Solo Men’s Category, and Donnie “”Cyclone” Cole, Lenny “King of Gondor” Goodell, Jeff “El Freako from Rico” Hemperley, Chris “C-Cow” Hereford, and Matt “The Fish” Turgeon all entered in the Solo Men’s Singlespeed category, and finally Doug “Da-Goat” Young entered in on a team of three. Big Wheel Racing had some great results and even received recognition from the race organizers for our high level of participation. BWR has a great relationship with the Cortez race and has been very supportive of this race that supports local charities in the community.

Afterward the team distributed a gift box of items from Specialized Bicycle Company, courtesy of our great relationship with High Desert Bicycles in Rio Rancho, NM as they sponsor the team and help prepare our racers for events. We take great pride in partnering with the shop and are very please to also have access to fine quality Specialized components.

Many of the team members were also racing for the first time with their new titanium King Cages made in Durango, CO and also a sponsor of BWR. Nuun and Honey Stinger products fueled the team, and as always we are very thankful for the support of all our sponsors and supporters.
