This is a free, low-key race with a post-race meal and on-site camping provided. Course will be around 95 miles with the start and finish in Lathrop, MO.

BT EPIC

Anybody doing Lost Valley Luau this weekend???? Good chance I'm going to try to make that one.

I'm gonna do the BT epic, but it'll have to wait until payday. Never done that one before, kinda lookin forward to it.
BTW, WTF haven't we seen any pics/race report from the state race at Landahl? I heard thru the grapevine we had someone do pretty good out there.

Looks like me and Yielding are posting at the same time:)
I'll see if I can get off work for that farmhouse ride. Any event that's free and offers free bbq would be a shame to miss.

I agree with Peat. Everyone should sign up for the BT epic. Love the camping and the party atmosphere after the race.
Posted by: Matt | Jun 14, 2011 at 12:00 PM
By the way...Corey, let's hear that race report! Congrats!
Posted by: Matt | Jun 14, 2011 at 12:20 PM

Posted by: turbo | Jun 15, 2011 at 10:20 PM
Does he send back a confirmation email or anything or do i just assume i'm in? (for the farmhouse classic)
Posted by: turbo | Jun 15, 2011 at 10:22 PM
No, he just adds your name to the roster on the right-hand side of the page at http://www.farmhouseclassic.blogspot.com. He's already added you.

Thanks stoney... I'm looking forward to riding with you. I think Jenkins is gonna try to make it to this one too.
Posted by: turbo | Jun 15, 2011 at 11:46 PM

Posted by: Matt | Jun 16, 2011 at 06:09 PM

If I shave my legs and wear a wig do you think anyone will question it?
Posted by: Stoney | Jun 16, 2011 at 10:48 PM
Depends on the bulge, I guess?
Posted by: Bob | Jun 16, 2011 at 11:02 PM

Bob with your moobs bulge you may be able to pull it off.

Anybody riding tonight?
Posted by: Bob | Jun 21, 2011 at 12:28 PM
i know corey and i are going to be out there bob. i think barry is gonna try to make it, and i bet more people are coming too.
Posted by: turbo | Jun 21, 2011 at 05:13 PM
i had to celebrate the summer solstace, gonna ride tom out of the gov mansion.
Posted by: barry | Jun 21, 2011 at 09:37 PM
for some reason i don't think i am an "author" on here anymore. i would post a new feed, but i don't have stoney's brains to try to figure it out right now. Bopp and I are planning on doing a gravel ride tomorrow (tuesday) instead of riding binder. I think binder might be a little wet and i want to get in some gravel before the farmhouse classic. I get off around six and bopp will hopefully be home not too long after. let me know if anybody is interested or has a route in mind. thanks guys

hey turbo, i did a gravel ride on sat, from Turkey Crk headed N to Rutherford Cave, then back home via Clinkenbeard and so on. There was a bunch of gravel on every single road i rode. just keep that in mind. Me, i'm doing a road ride tonight. i had my fill of rough gravel on sat.
Posted by: barry | Jun 28, 2011 at 10:36 AM
There was a bunch of gravel on the roads? I believe they call those "gravel roads". You can call and complain, but I don't think it will do you any good.
Posted by: Stoney | Jun 28, 2011 at 12:11 PM
ok stoney, next time i see you i'm gonna knock the shit into you.
Posted by: barry | Jun 28, 2011 at 02:42 PM
Berry, we missed you on the road ride tonight. Everyone was asking where you were. Hopefully, tomorrow night from the Guvnah's mansion at 5:30 works into your schedule better.
Posted by: Stoney | Jun 28, 2011 at 09:48 PM
Nick, Luke, Rusty and I did a 30-ish mile gravel loop last night. Good times.
Barry, what's your route to the cave?
Posted by: Bob | Jun 29, 2011 at 02:32 PM
I saw your (i'm assuming it was Jenkins) generous contribution to the "send turbo to college to get an education" fund when i went to put my bike on top of my car last night. I was looking forward to the challenge of trying to catch up with you guys, but we had bopp's brother with us and i think we burnt him out a little early in the ride. I love that loop out there, it's good stuff. Until next time, i guess Bob is just too fast for me.
Posted by: turbo | Jun 30, 2011 at 12:27 AM
bob, you know what the route is. u just turn N at turkey crk from the Katy. you go all the way to the blacktop, then head towards Holt Summitt and turn N at your road, i go right by your neighborhood. Head N till blacktop ends and keep going gravel till you get all the way into pine ridge. u take a R where the gravel T's and you go till you get to the blacktop. go N on it till you get to the gravel that leads you back to Rutherford cave. You've got to already know this, i'm not even gonna bother giving you the road numbers. heading home you connect the roads that go S. Couldn't be easier. i do kinda trespass through some guys property to jump back onto the KT. I took Stoney & co. on that road and they got yelled at. Stoney was dikin around and fell, then lolly gagged through and got caught by the prop owner. His fault.
Posted by: barry | Jun 30, 2011 at 05:43 AM
Oh, I see. I thought maybe you had some kind of secret route I didn't know about.
Turbo, don't spend that dollar bill all in one place. And you better know I was looking over my shoulder all night waiting for you guys to catch us. I just didn't want to hand Bopper that $50 bill, especially since I didn't have one.
I'm gonna do an overnighter this evening if anyone is interested. Probably not leaving til around 9 from Dos Primos. Route will be Vollmer style, unknown distance and unknown route. Should end up camped out somewhere in Mark Twain Nat'l Forest.
Come one, come all..just bring your own stuff.
Posted by: Bob | Jun 30, 2011 at 10:02 AM
So where is the cave in relation to the Rutherford bridge? I may have to check it out the next time I'm lolly-gagging thru there.
Is anyone going downtown to the street festival tonight?
Posted by: Stoney | Jun 30, 2011 at 12:18 PM
The cave is about 1/4 mile downstream from the bridge. It's pretty badass, but expect to be covered in mud when you go in.
