Yes cycling fans, another edition of the Tour De Bonk is about to unfold. Last year's King of the Mountains Robbie Carver says it's the best parcours he's seen in decades. He also says that he's going to serve Mike Kane 2 helpings of Logie Trail for breakfast. Trash talk!
Last year's rookie and white jersey winner Adam Barmada was at the unveiling. " Are you f*%&ing crazy? Is that supposed to be fun?" Fun and good for you too.

If you did the ride last year, you know that it puts the kick in kickass. Or maybe it's the ass part. Regardless, come join the fun. If the whole enchilada looks like too much, there will be shorter loops.

As with last year's ride, we try to give something back to the community by supporting a local charity. The NW Sarcoma foundation is helping patients with sarcoma (a soft tissue tumor) as well as their families with financial assistance, education, and research. This is an 'orphan' cancer that you don't hear much about and doesn't get a lot of funding. To donate, click HERE. If you choose not to donate at least a penny, you will have to carry a brick in your bike jersey.

Where it says Designate a specific purpose (Optional), select 'other' and write Tour De Bonk in the comment section. A Tour De Bonk option should be there soon.
