Bearded Women Racing

They did it again!

A couple of weekends ago Juan Hermenegildo raced the finale of the Arkansas Enduro Series in Bentonville, Arkansas. He was able to hold on to 3rd place on both days of the race. This secured him 2nd overall for the series. Next year he will be stepping up from the Men 19-39 category to Expert.

Then this past weekend, Carlos Hernandez travelled down to the Spider Mountain Bike Park in Burnet, TX for the last race of the Hill Country Downhill Series. He finished in 3rd place.

So much winning from these guys!! Great job!!

We think the pink jerseys have also been helping secure podium spots 😀

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of fellow Beard and dear friend, Richard White. He was a valued and well loved member of our team and the DFW mountain bike community.

He spent countless hours of his time volunteering with DORBA in various roles and advocating for mountain bike trails in the area. He acted as our Enduro team captain for the past few years (which he described as herding cats) and could always be counted on to lend a hand and provide encouragement at team events.

He had a vast photo archive of fellow teammates and riders (many embarrassing) that he could post up at a moments notice, he was uncanningly quick with that. We will also miss his many stories, like the “whale” at Northshore. It took those of us that were on that particular team ride a few minutes to realize he was talking about a well (that British accent).

At the end of every Enduro Race he would state triumphantly “I didn’t die!” How we wish that was still so. We will miss our Sister Grove World Champ, Richard White.

All of our thoughts go out to his family at this most difficult time.
