Big Wheel Racing

Big Wheel Racing had a great presence at the Atomic MS150 this past weekend. Chris,  Claudia, Lenny and Rich made up the “A Gear for A Cure” team with the guys riding single speeds.

and Lizz was on the ‘Mixed Nuts’ team.

This MS ride is touted as the toughest MS ride in the country. On day one it goes from Bernalillo NM up through the Jemez Mountains and down into Los Alamos NM for ~78 miles and over 5500ft of climbing.  The evening of day one was spent eating and drinking with fellow riders.

Claudia achieved her goal of completing the day one ride.

On Day two the ride returns opposite of day one for another 78 miles and over 3000ft of climbing. The second day started out with a tough 13 mile/2000ft climb out of Los Alamos and then some very fast descending out of the Jemez Mountains.

The guys met up with Lizz after the lunch stop (really 2nd breakfast) and the four rode the rest of the way back to Bernalillo together, each taking their turn pulling.

All together the BWR team members raised over $2200 in donations for the National MS Society.
