The members of the Stan's sponsored teams
Pro rider Krista Park just completed the 24 Hours of Old Pueblo. She teamed up with several of the folks from the Niner team and East Coaster Harlan Price. It seems Park is in great shape and ready for another great season of mountain bike racing. Krista's report and photos are below.
Stan (of Stan's No Tubes fame) brought three teams to Tucson, all of which placed 1st; The Hippie Ninja's of Stan's World 155-199 team (22laps), a 200+ team (21laps) and a female singlespeed solo Karen Rishel (13 laps) .
The 155-199 team was Fuzzy Mylne, Dejay Birtch, Krista Park, Harlen Price, and Jake Kirkpatrick "The Hippie Ninja's of Stan's World". The competition was Team Topeak - Ergon (21 laps) with Dave Wiens, Yuki Saito, Sonya Looney, Jeff Kerkove and Rebecca Tomaszewski.
I believe I got both fastest day and night laps for the women, but don't see those posted. The best part of the weekend was being on such a fun/fast team and having Stan and Mike so involved with our racing. They knew lap times, who was up next, when the next racer was due in, etc. It was awesome standing in the exchange tent getting ready to go on a night lap and have Stan himself give me the strategy, adjust my light and make sure I had everything I needed, then when I finished my lap Mike would meet me. Mike knew everyone's lap time right away as he walked around with his iphone and kept an eye on the live results. Todd (my husband) loved it too and went to bed for the night.
