Is everyone else loving all of their Facebook memories popping up from Bakers Dozen over the years?
Ten years ago today, lots of racers wanted a fat bike, just like Mark Mervine was riding. So many memories from this crazy bike race day. SNOTCYCLE 2011.
Chapter 2 of the 2011 SNOTCYCLE video production by Gravity Soul. Starts out in the grid of pines and branches out as riders begin to get in a grove dispit...
2021 Leesburg Bakers Dozen
Is a No-Go
After much deliberation, we have decided that we will not be doing this race for spring 2021. This was a tough call to make, we all look forward to the race every year. This year there are too many uncertainties with COVID-19, and with it affecting how my kids schools are operating, I cannot commit to the time needed to prepare for a race.
Ride your bicycle.
Way to go!
The county is home to 250 miles of gravel roads, some dating back to the 1700s. As development threatens some of those roads, one cyclist says he'll ride them all in one sitting to raise awareness.
IF things are looking good for us to have a mountain bike race in the spring,
the 2021 Leesburg Bakers Dozen event will be the weekend of
April 24-25, 2021
So, you know, like, save the date and stuff.
It’s a beautiful day for a bike ride! Where are you riding today?
Remember when we used to be able to like have bike races and stuff? Yeah, that was fun.
“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”
-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930), author of Sherlock Holmes

Today would’ve been a perfect day for a bike race! Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy!
Happy Perfect Date Day!
It’s a beautiful day for a bike ride! The Go Time Racing juniors team enjoyed riding the gravel roads here in beautiful Loudoun County today. Where did you ride?
Quarantine Story Time: Bakers Dozen Edition
I don't know about you, but my Facebook Memories have been flooded with Bakers Dozen pics over the last couple of weeks! Since we are not having the race this year, let's share stories from past years. Share a story in the comments of the good, the bad, the muddy! Bonus points for great pics. Take a few minutes to go through old pictures and think about races you've done, and share a story!
I'll start- Look at what I found hiding in a file box, the flyer from the first Bakers Dozen in 2007! Check out the categories: Solo Male, Solo Female, Solo SS Male, Solo SS Female, Duo Male, Duo Open, and 3 Person Open. Think about how many categories we've added as we've grown since then!
Happy Racing! Stay 6 ft apart, please!

Your mountain bike might be a vintage bike if…
-You used to ride it when you had long hair in the back and really short hair in the front
-It was at least two years old when we started the Leesburg Bakers Dozen race in 2007
-You rode it during the last presidential impeachment
-The wheels are only 26”
-The most used tools in your toolbox are cone wrenches
-It was the bike you were riding back in the day when Lance was still winning the Tour de France and we all still thought it was legit
-You have a hard time getting parts for it nowadays because they just don’t make those parts anymore
Here is our official definition of a vintage mountain bike:
Nothing bigger than a 26” wheel, produced in 2005 or earlier
We are excited about Half Baked on April 25, check out the details on BikeReg. A couple of highlights—We are starting race day at 12:30 pm so that you can still get in a night lap or two. New and updated categories, only solos or two person teams this year due to the shorter day.

Seriously, Drivers? Is Your Time More Valuable Than My Life?
It won’t kill you to wait. It could kill us if you don’t.
I went to visit Rolling Ridge trails yesterday to see where Rob’s memorial bench was installed. It’s absolutely stunning and is in the perfect location to rest and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Thank you to everyone that worked to make this happen ❤️
