On the Move - Transcript
[Jim Craig]
When people started putting on these six-,
twelve-, twenty-four hour races and... nobody in this part of the country did one and so we just thought that why not try it?
These kind of races aren’t as competitive as say a regular mountain bike race. These kind of races are more laid back because they know they’re here for twelve hours.
We saw some people out here... some elderly people hiking this afternoon and we were setting a close up and they wanted to know what was going on and we told them that there was a bike race tonight and they said, tonight? We said, yeah. You have bike lights and you race through the night.
A lot of guys have some awfully nice lights. I mean, some guys will do the helmet light and the bike light and it really illuminates a big area.
I mean, the miles are dragging on.
[Race contestant]
Twenty laps. Five miles a lap, so twenty times five... what’s twenty times five?
[Jim Craig]
A hundred miles.
A hundred miles? Sounds good to me.
A hundred and four miles... so good job. Nice job.
Guys, thanks for coming down and doing it. You guys look like hell. Go home and get some sleep.
