JMR Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Speaking as a “bigger” guy who enjoys riding and would love some competition....what are the chances of having a heavy weight class? A few folks mentioned a tandem class last time, and a tandem class appeared. I know there’s quite a few guys that are 250+ on this forum that would love to compete! But, my 280+ body will never beat a 150lb dude in my age group. A “husky” class might be appropriate. It might motivate us heavier guys to train. I know I would sign up for it! Any other bigger guys interested? Just a suggestion.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for the holidays, eat with confidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good short effort to open up the legs for the RHR event. Also, while we had some TMBRA racers at the last time trial, most of last race's entrants were first time racers.

That is 250 lb rider weight (in race gear). start packing on those pounds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no regulation of race gear. Take care of yourself. Add what you must. I have no issues with beating you “lightweights”!! Bring it on!! I just want to be competitive! Let’s have fun!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i put my son on my bike and a saddle bag with snacks maybe i can reach that. Or maybe you can make a category for new dads who used to ride good but now just want to ride period.

DesertNomad Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 The date for the time trial has been moved to 2/15/2020 in order to not conflict with the TMBRA schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 300 right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingAgain Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Officially termed "Clydesdales"... And commonly have a specific class for us... In the South Florida Series I raced in back in the day the requirement was 225 and up with bicycle. But don't think that there are not some really fast riders in the upper weight levels... When I raced there was one rider that was competitive in Elite class (I think it was called that... It was the class below semi-pro)... He pretty much lapped us all every race.

HoneyBadger Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) We've been going crazy with the mini-x this week making the course even faster...8 new machine built berms, one big roller/jump, and smoothed out a rough spot since Saturday.

Sweet action! Hope to get out there in the next week. Only problem with a faster course,is it might give me a false sense of getting in shape🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
