7 years. In a couple weeks we'll meet up extra early. We'll ride a ton of miles up and down hills, we'll get mad, punchy, and end up tired and alone sleeping it off in a ditch covered in chili. The FHR strikes again.



Sponsors: (more being added daily)
















Honey, our lovely dancer, is donating a lap dance


We show up and meet at 8ish am on Sunday the 26th. Quick sign up and bullshit session under the viaduct at Washington and Alaska. Mob over to the ferry at 9am sharp and wait for the 9:35 boat. Heckle, get heckled. Boat ride, then a 33 mile hilly bike race culminating in a chili feed and prize fest. We've had years of chili, prizes, races, harbor masters, lost skin, hurt pride, awkward sexual advances, and all kinds of other fun. We're doing it again.

The race is 7 dollars. Prizes will again be cash and a huge pile of bike schwag from our gracious sponsors. All you can eat chili feed at the finish line (veg and meaty) included. I'll try to have a pile of free beer there again too. Bring an extra 8 dollars to cover the cost of the ferry, return trip is free.

This is a GREAT day event. 33 miles of hills and cold. Bainbridge is beautiful, and it's a great challenging ride. Plus, every year so far EVERYONE attending has gotten prizes, regardless of finishing placement. A big set of people even get a few prizes. Lots of giveaways traditionally.

More details and sponsor info will be dropped here as it comes in.

If you know of anyone that wants to help out and donate anything (service, item, etc) put them in touch with me. Anything related to cycling or outdoors or strippers or booze makes great prizes. Use your imagination. Talk to anyone you know that might be a position to help out. I can make great laminated gift certificates if you have a service that you'd like to donate as a prize,

Weissbier's brewin'. should be good to go by FHR. The only hard part is getting the keg -I'm trying to arrange transport from Granite Falls to Fremont on the weekend of the 18th.

Derrick what's with your fixation with awkward sexual advances?

Also where do I sign up for the free backrubs booth that we will be offering to all of the riders this year at the finish?

Those 2010 pics make me really sad I skipped last year. Stupid 100°F fever.

Remember kids: The ferry captain does not like it when you moon people off the front of the ship.

Unless a wicked cold snap comes through this year, the chilly hilly might not be absolutely shitty.


And Sweeny, you already had your crackup for 2012. No wiping out this year.

Im bringing a guest. Some of you may know him as my husband's little sister. Be ready!

What time does this usually wrap up? I want to ride but have a party for my parents to go to that night...

Nothing will keep me from participating in this event.

Ben, I'm sorry but, I will be there this year.

I will also be bringing Malort on the Thursday ride prior to FHR as a thank you.

i just got a delivery of carbon fiber forks. canti and standard

Lots more sponsors added today.
If you win a prize at the race, please drop them a note thanking them. Really helps us keep support over the years.

I still have my "Internet Strippers" prize from 2 years ago. Thanks Daryl.

im pumped!
gives me a good reason to work on my bike too

Honey, our lovely dancer, is again donating a lap dance to our cause. Apparently no one has EVER called in that prize and she's given it out for every one of our races
