Riding 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're back tanned, rested and ready to do battle on the infamously nasty Snowshoe course.

Our team consists of 4 time Snowshoe veteran Brian "Duckman" Archer, 4 time Snowshoe and 5 time Canaan/Snowshoe veteran Rob "Rockboy" Horn, Michael Ritter who is back for his second go, and Bob Lamberson who, although he's making his first Snowshoe appearance, is no stranger to endurance racing having competed in the 24 Hours of Adrenalin and the 12 Hours of the Hill of Truth. 
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.
