Yeah daddy, here we come again. We just don't know when to stop. 

 Dr Skip's Medicine Show rides in honor of long-time team supporter, doctor, pharmacist, cook, bartender, keeper of the medicinal jar O' mountain nectar, lackey and friend, Skip Cooper. 

We are also dedicating our ride this year (no matter how bad we do) to longtime friend and local cycling icon Tom  McCurry who was seriously injured late last year in a cycling accident. 

    We are made up of 6 time Snowshoe/Big Bear Veteran Brian "Duckman" Archer, 7 time Snowshoe/Canaan and Big Bear Veteran Rob "Rockboy" Horn, Michael Ritter who is back for his 4th go, and Bob "The Great White Goat" Lamberson coming back for his 3rd time.     
Another important part of DSMS is team mechanics and honorary hillbillies, Kyle Bova and John Twist who are coming all the way from St Louis, Mo just to make sure our train keeps on keeping on. New news: Kyle and Twister cannot make it so Ron "The Mad Hungarian" Istvan is heading out with Rockboy from St Louie to give support and have some major Granny Gear fun.

    Fueled by beer, adrenalin, Aerosmiths "Train Kept A Rollin", and sheer lack of respect for pain, we are on a life-long quest for singletrack nirvana.
