| Lobo in the Oroville-Mercury Registar At last, rest for the wheeling: 24-hour endurance mountain bike event comes to a close on Sunday By ROBIN EPLEY - Staff Writer Posted: 10/31/2011 12:47:57 AM PDT OROVILLE — Nearly 80 riders are resting at home after a popular endurance mountain bike event closed Sunday morning. Seventy-nine riders from across the state came to the Loafer Creek Campground on Saturday morning to ride in two events — one, a 24-hour race to see which individual or team could make the most laps, and an eight-hour version of the same race. "Every year we've been growing," said Lake Oroville Bicyclists Organization President Lex Parker. Last year, the event had about 65 riders. It costs $100 to participate in the 24-hour race and $50 to participate in the eight-hour. The past president of LOBO started the race because of his passion for riding, Parker said. The event is now in its fourth year. Twenty-four hour endurance races have been popular for about 20 years, he said, but recently, Parker said he's seen the numbers dwindle. He can only think of about three more in the state. He said the Oroville race is unique because it's not just a race, but rather a gathering for mountain bikers after the busy season. Many come and camp out, visit, and then ride as hard as they can, but purely for fun. "The race season is over and people like coming out," he said. "It's for bragging rights and just to have a good time." The event provides trophies and a raffle, but no cash prize. In addition to the event, LOBO promotes safe bicycling as well as advocating safe routes to schools and getting a younger generation interested in what Parker called "just a wonderful sport." "I know every participant is really looking forward to next year," Parker said. "Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves." Staff writer Robin Epley can be reached at 896-7761 or repley@chicoer.com. |
