THE BEAST...caught on tape....WELCOME TO H3LL!!!

Postby TheBman » Mon Apr 14, 2008 7:41 pm

So, Stella and I were couchin' it here talking about St. Croix 70.3 in THREE weeks....and we wondered if the world of YOUTUBE had any video of the race (even though we have a copy of last years race). In TSN's coverage....they MENTION the BEAST...but kinda skip over it.

So....here it is...THE BEAST......alll of it.

Maybe you shouldn't watch this one BMan, you might change your mind about going.

That's insane... I rode up the Niagara Escarpment at Queenston Heights last Saturday and I thought that was hard... :shock:

Good luck!

I didn't think it looked so bad at first but then I realized that it went on and on and on... :shock:. I'm not sure I'd even want to go down that hill let alone up.
