Tecate Hare Scrambles 2012

Last weekend Fletch and I headed down to the Tecate Hare Scrambles put on by the Los Ancianos Motorcycle Club. This is an annual event that has an amateur race in the morning and a pro race in the afternoon and is held on private land out near Rancho Santa veronica just south of El Hongo. Baja Bound has been a sponsor of the club for the last few years, and they do a great job putting the event on which brings almost 200 riders out to compete. It's a pretty fun race to spectate at as well, since the riders in each of the races do several laps and come past the camping/pit area. Here are some photos from the weekend...

#100 on the green bike is Larry Roeseler. The guy cornering around a tree trunk I think is Alexander Smith, and the blue bike and white helmet I think is Justin, the Ironman winner.

It was great chatting with you Geoff, and patting Fletch around the campfire.

That pretty much sums it up, yet even more details are at:
