Festival Report: Big Wheeled Ballyblizzard

We want to tip our collective cap to the hearty souls who not only turned out at the Big Wheeled Ballyhoo but managed to have a ton of fun despite 10 – 14 inches of snow showing up to crash the party.

The one drawback to living and riding in Southern California is that all of us here at Price Point are such softies when it comes to the weather that none of us would have been able to hack it. Just to give you an idea how sad we, are our resident wannabe Belgian breaks out the knickers and toe covers anytime the mercury dips below 60. Last time we checked there weren’t a whole lot of Belgian hardmen wearing toe covers.

Still, the Big Wheeled Ballyhoo managed to go on. And for those who didn’t get scared off by the fluffy white stuff, what they got in return was some great riding, camaraderie and an “epic ride” story that will surely top just about anything out there.

You can check out some very cool first hand accounts here, here and here.





The lucky guy on the left was the big winner of Sette Razzo frame. Too bad Sette doesn’t make skis. We could have really hooked him up. Photo credit: Biking Fools.
