I'll be in Toronto when reg opens and Las Vegas when the race happens. I've never watched the Super Blow in another country.

Seems like every year @Delish needs to text and remind me when reg. opens.

 

[walter]

Should mention for all interested parties that have never done this race that it usually sells out in a few hours, so if you want to get in, be ready.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Dis could be an interesting way to break up my May.

Can you forward that text to me?

 

[rlb]

$75 lol

 

[UtahJoe]

$75 lol

worth every penny...great course, vibe, food is excellent, adult beverages, ice pops, great prizes, swag. George and Rave put on some awesome races.

I understand there are costs for an event, but I guess it's a supply and demand thing too? As someone who occasionally considers a race for fun I need to logically answer the question "Will I pay $x to ride my bike today?" Maybe it's just not for me!

Not trying to sound like a dick even though it probably comes off that way, my apologies. Back on topic!

If you sell out your race every single year in record time and you don't raise your price, you fail at America.

 

[Pearl]

you can easily drink $75 of beer at this event

i try and eat $75 of burgers, hot dogs and ice cream

I was thinking that the price was a bit steep but it is 32 miles. It's not like it'll be a 10 mile course and you're done. I may just throw my hat in the ring this time around too. Maybe fatbike SS

I'm just happy I'll be able to make this race again after a few years away. This is probably going to be the only non-endurance race I'll do all year. In fact, it'll probably be the only one I've done in the last few years. Yikes.

 

[pooriggy]

@pearl , are you coming back from NC for SSAP?

 

[Steve Vai]

Sweet, reg opens in the middle of an 80-mile fat bike race and will be sold out by the time we're finished.

I get what you are saying...but I have seen @gtluke eat $500 worth of ice pops and food at an SSAP event....@mattybfat and @Mitch drink back their $75 about 12 minutes after they finish the race.

I know some people compare race length with $$$ but for me this race is all about the fun factor and I would actually prefer it to be back to the older 24mile course myself.

I can sign you up Jimmy. For foot rubs.

 

[Magic]

Super in for this shit. Somebody remind me.

I'll make a mandatory 10-minute stop at Noon.
