(Start of the 2011 Tour De Big Bear)
The 2011 Tour De Big Bear is officially in the books...and what a great day it was! To everybody's amazement the event was "sold out" two days prior with all 500 t-shirts, finishers medals, and goodie bags accounted for. That didn't stop an additional hundred plus folk from signing up for the ride despite not getting any of the swag that goes with it.
(Another AWESOME Open Air Big Bear Event!)
The TDBB had 3 different routes for folks to ride, 25, 50, and 70 miles. Each group was led out by our local celebrity Jordan Romero in his sweet FRS kit. Jordan also rode the entire 25 mile route and was the first one back by a good margin of time. This kid is an incredible athlete....look for him to do even BIGGER things than he's already done in the future. After Jordan got back the rest of the riders started to filter in and the one common thing between them all was the huge smiles to be seen. I was at the finish line all day and I could not believe the positive remarks coming in so steadily. Everybody had a blast! The only negative I heard was about the road conditions on one part of the course were a little less than disierable.

The day finished up with a HUGE raffle where some folks went home with full on Big Bear getaways including lodging, gear, massages and food....awesome! Some sweet gear was given away as well and lot's of folks left extra happy! Great event in Big Bear Lake and a great addition to the Open Air Big Bear family of events. Looking forward to next years Tour De Big Bear!
