Epic Rides Whisky 50 Mountain Bike Race
Prescott, AZ • Apr 27 2024 http://results.epicrides.com/liv…This race has been on our list for a few years but was always on the same weekend as our 6 Hours in the Basin Mountain Bike race. Finally they were on different weekends so we signed up. Kim signed up for the 25 mile race and I signed up for the 50 mile race. Both races we fun but maybe a little to much dirt road riding for our liking but certainly understand the need for it when you have a couple thousand riders. The courses had some great singletrack just not enough.
Jan Bear: 4h 52m 19s, 8/43, Distinguished Men 60+
Kim Bear: 2h 57m 54s, 4/10, Distinguished Women 60+

6 Hours in the Basin for Commonweal
Santa Fe, NM • Apr 20 2024 https://www.webscorer.com/race?p…This was our 6th annual race at Galisteo Basin. We have been using the same fast and fun 9.5 mile loop with about 800 feet of elevation per lap. There is a little bit of everything each lap, rock, gravel, sand, tight twisty sections, fast flowy sections and some double track for passing. This year's race started in cold windy conditions and ended with sun and temperatures in the low 60's.
Kim Bear: 57m 21.2s, 2/4, Female Duo
Kim did 3 laps, her other laps were 1:00:52.4 and 1:05:24.9. Her partner was her daughter JJ Williams.
Jan Bear: 46m 05.5s, 1/3, Male Team
Todd K. and Brent B. were on my team. We did 7 laps in 5:55:59.7. Todd did 3 laps and Brent and I each did 2 laps. My second lap was 46:30.6.

Fort Bayard, NM • Apr 6 2024 https://my.raceresult.com/275529…This year's race was COLD. We woke up to snow flurries and a temperature of 32 degrees, with the wind chill making it feel even colder. Kim was paired up with Maripat for a Female Duo and I was paired up with Ries for a Male Duo. The race course was about 13 miles in length with about 1000 feet of climbing per lap. The first lap is only 10 miles in length primarily on a dirt road for the first 4+ miles to spread everyone out. A fun course but the high winds, gusts to 40 MPH accompanied with the cold certainly made for a challenging day on the bike.
Kim Bear: 8h 40m 37s, 4/8, Women Duo Team
Kim did 3 laps, with the shorter first lap time of 49:26, then laps 2 & 3, 1:18:36 and 1:20:49
Jan Bear: 9h 39m 02s, 5/24, Male Duo
Our lap times were all within 3-4 minutes of each other so a good steady pace. I did the start lap and the 4 more and Ries did 4 for our total of 9 laps. We were pretty happy with a 5th place as we were certainly the oldest Male Duo team.
