Bone Bender 3/6 Hour MTB Odyssey Report

The Bone Bender was a great success this year with a record turnout of 267 racers.

There are many fine people to thank, some of which I did not even know before Sunday. They all came together and helped in making the Bone Bender a terrific event. Thank you to the Smithville Trail Group, Earth Riders Mountain Bike Club, Midwest Mountain Bike Patrol, ERTA, Cow Town Cycling and Special Thanks to Carolynn Locke, Christopher Locke, Gerard Arantowicz, John Williams, Ben Bolin, Neale Shore, Rich Bowman, Dave Wathen, Rich Anderson, Todd Possum and John Harter, all of which put in many hours before in the months leading up to the BB36.

You sometimes show up to an event and do not realize what it actually took to bring everything together. Well it is a lot of work, but thanks to a great group of volunteers it was made much easier.

It also takes sponsors who support what we love to do. These guys supported the Bone Bender and you should support them. Kuat Racks, Paceline Products, Hammer Nutrition, Pot Pie, The Wheel Cyclery, In-A-Tub, Volker Bicycles, Epic Bike and Sport and MultiSport Marketing.
