Barry Lueck

Single Speed
#719 or #892
I started racing in 2006
My wife, Mel, made me start. After riding my first race in a snow storm through dark forested single track past bonfires and kegs o’beer along side naked riders and Halloween costumed riders and screaming drunk spectators, I knew I had found a good sport. It is a good pastime for weekends when I am not bird hunting or riding my mountain bike. But why do racers wear such over-the-top outfits called “kits”? I thought bibs were worn by farmers.
My goal is to finish with a smile on my muddy face in not-last-place.
