Starting last Thursday night we've had a lot of biking activities around the valley. First there was the Drag Races where competitors tied logs to the back of their bikes and then raced down River Street in Hailey. Once the dark rolled in they lite the logs on fire for more entertainment...sorry no pictures I was a little preoccupied.

Then last night it was the Bike Polo event followed by the Hot Dog Hill Climb. Yes, I had a hard time imagining either of these activities but after watching them I can say with limited knowledge that they make sense. Bike Polo was conducted with two teams of eight on a soccer field. Paritcipants used whiffle ball bats and a small ball to attempt to score goals into a hockey sized net. Main rule was you couldn't hit the ball unless you were on your bike. The pile ups of people on bikes were endless but Zach seemed to avoid them and score two goals.

The next event involved chugging a beer and then attempting to ride up a single track on your bike (mountain, road, or cruiser) while holding a hot dog with one hand. Fastest time wins bragging rights and there are penalties depending on how bad of shape your hot dog is in when you reach the top. No skimping on the relish or mustard.
Dax attended all these events (minus the log burning because it was past his bed time).

I did borrow a couple of photos from miss Sarah S. of her husband, Ian, on the Hot Dog Hill Climb because really you've got to see it to believe it.
