1.Bill Lasher, of Lasher Sports has brought us the 1st ever, Hand Bike Category for the Super D competition. Hand Cyclists will use a different trail for the 1st 3/4 of the Super D race, then all Hand Cyclist will join the main SD course and share the same finish line for the last 1/4 of the race track. This Hand Bike category is sponsored by the Ride 2 Recovery/ Project Hero Las Vegas. 25% of proceeds will go directly back to the Ride 2 Recovery program. This promises to make the Super D finish one to remember as these hard core athletes cross the finish line.

 I wish more races realized that there are plenty of us with disabilities who ride MTB (from trike, to recumbent, to regular bikes). We are a market, not a huge one, but a market non the less.

 That fatbike is radical and hideous at the same time.
