Vote for my dad, Doug to do the Hell Ride. 70+ miles on a singlespeed mountain bike with 12,000+ feet of climbing!

He'll get to ride with a pro & a chance to win a really nice new bike!
Thanks!

edit: He's the 2006 Fargo Street Hill Climb winner (http://adobovelocyclist.blogspot.com/2008/01/francis-vs-fargo-street.html), so maybe you guys have seen him out there. Doug 'Gramps' Kubler.

Here's an old thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=184225&highlight=fargo). The 61 year old setting the record is my dad.

I voted for your dad. But I found the voting process a bit unclear.
My dad was also a cyclist until November 1, 2003 when he had a cycling related accident and shattered his hip, broke his collar bone, and fractured his hand. He was hard core since the seventies but gave it up after his accident.
I hope your dad wins!

Thanks for voting Nachoman!
To clarify how to vote, you enter your email, and they send you an email to click on a link from after a bit.

There are 5 guys who have lots of votes, and they're pretty close, and they'll only take 4.
I need your help peoples.
Thanks!
