This was the 'roudy' bunch. The guy in the foreground had the boom box (ACDC, Metalica, etc) and where the primes were given out ($ and other types )

Two questions:

Is that freeway shot right by Alpine Valley?

and

What team is that with the all-black skinsuits?

Bare Knuckle Brigade
The team is basically run by the lalonde brothers (#'s 1 and 3? mountainbikers in WI/MN/IL) They almost all run SS steel rigs for cross and general mountainbiking

[John Wilke]

Yeah ... that's Alpine Valley. That's gotta be one of the bigger climbs in this area ... guess it got it's name for a reason. :) Maybe next race weekend we'll get some MUD !
