Once again our thanks must go out to the California Cushman club for sponsoring a fine and successful event. This year the weather in California almost shut us out but the rain held off and the ride went off as planned.
The event was held at the Brannon Island Recreational Area near Isleton. This is in the heart of the California Delta between Antioch and Stockton. As is always the case in this area, there was an ample amount of wind and the sky was overcast. A few riders (mainly the folks from Santa Barbara) got a bit chilled during the ride but thankfully there were no accidents or injuries. The ride is a 90 mile loop that has 4 planned stops for re-grouping, bathroom breaks, lunch, gas and ice cream. Read the whole article.
This is an annual outlaw desert event where riders will see their bikes disintegrate beneath them as they approach speeds of 50 mph.
To avoid the heat from coming down us, we have rented a race track for the day. Anyone and everyone is invited to participate. Death Race is open to all gas and electric motorized bicycles. Pedals and a motor, you're in.
Safety equipment, i.e. helmets, boots, knee and elbow pads, are highly recommended as well as mandatory. A helpful tip to racer's looking for first place on the podium, races are won by those who fall least.
Over 50 riders attended the October 2009 Whizzer ride held in the California Delta area. As always, our thanks go out to Doug Baldanzi, club president, and the California Cushman Club for sponsoring the event. Read the whole article.
