BOGSTOMP things are coming together!! Bryan Buswell KILLED it with the poster art again.
In his travels through artistic time and space Mr. Buswell has stumbled across a legendary figure and documents it here to celebrate our event.

Legend has it....

He is an astroknight. His breath curdles and vaporizes in the harsh Mars atmosphere. He is on a mission. A mission to search and destroy. He is a ranger of sorts, more vigilante... more outcast survivor in the harsh martian ether. His existence is harsh and heavy. Our astroknight's name is Hazel.

Hazel is riding a gelding; a gelding named Stigvard. Stigvard has four heads because it is easier to genetically modify four heads onto a horse than to increase a horses brain mass by four times though the latter was attempted at terrible cost to society. This terrible large-brained creation spawned an invasive super-species. A "horse" with some brains and a lot of f****d up emotions. These things are colloquially known as Bidduams (Pronounced Beed-dah-oom). Genetic Pirates are are to blame for the Biddaums neglectful release. This is the heaviness Hazel battles, or hunts, or is hunted by depending on the year. It is a race; a race for sanctity on mars. A race for a forgotten dream of peace.

For this most-holy race Stigvard has been retrofitted for dunes and rowdy brapping and as they roar across the space-scape our astroknight Hazel knows this is his last mission.... 
He is enjoying the moment, because it is his last.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!

Fall is almost over!! 
Holy snotrockets Batman! What a busy season! Just back from digging in torrential rain prepping for the upcoming 2019 Blue Lake Cyclocross event in February and finally catching up a bit. Apologies to all who have waited far too long for these (somewhat accurate) results. The timing chip system failed and we relied entirely on the backup system which saved us. There are inaccuracies and we hope that everyone forgives us and that your overall enjoyment of the event surpassed any results debacles. Here you will find the 2018 30 minute and here is the 50minute. There are also some photos uploaded on PINK BIKE.    A very belated thank you to all who came out and we hope to see you all next year! We'll always have some newish nonsense planned!

Happy Holidays!

Gravy is a stud.

An event description for folks unfamiliar with Bogstompin'

1. Bikes. 2. Beer & Food.
3. Music

Ok- but now seriously:

For those who haven't been to the Bogstomp before the event is a "cyclo-cross" event. The course is short and flat with a mix of woodsy singletrack, flat dirt road and a short paved section. If it rains it is muddy, if it is dry it can be rippin' fast. There are three races; a short & sweet kids race for the little guys, a 30 minute and a 50 minute. The race has been won in the past by both cyclo-cross bikes and mountain bikes so it is a pretty level playing field. The determining factor seems to be rider (surprise surprise). There is a large 'haybarn' structure to huddle in if it is raining and the Bogstomp Brewmeister always rolls out a special keg of BogBrew. Come on out and enjoy the day!
