With the weekend behind us and the weather deciding to find an inclination to something other than soggy a mere 24 hours after the Sheeple had all gone back to their steeples, it is with great anticipation that the imagery from the weekend begin leaking to the masses.  Here is a brief little look at the weekend.  Once our photo staff has finished with the photoshop we will post the corrected photos online.

Sheeptown is about as high five as high fives can get.

We begin by taking 200 parts comraderie

Hayes is a lumberjack.

Summon some spirits from, well, the spirit world.

Bearce you will die! die! for this gear ended my night! night!

It wasn’t until the night fell that the fire began to elevate the crowd into a state of awesomeness, but you could cut the air with a knife.  An artistic shot which captures how thick the air was.  It was so thick most of the weekend you could have gone swimming in the air.

You can't help but feel like an ant on a log at Sheeptown.

Kids love fire. Adults love fire. Chris the impromptu pyrotechnic specialist really really loves fire.

Once the candle was lit there was no turning back.

nothing like taking a bon fire for a 40 yard sprint.

I love this photo.  It shows the sheer grit and determinati0n of the Sheeptown Drags.  Super G getting ready to lay a patch.

Despite the Kafka brothers being too deeply ensconced in licking manginas to come out to sheeptown, there was still awesomeness all around.

I think these guy hit 88. Because it feels like Monday was back to the future for me.

That is just the beginning.  More to follow,.  Sorry for taking so long to get this up and running.  Some comments and random musings from the weekend…Adrian-there will be girl logs next year. Sheesh!  Of course we want you to participate, we just don’t think of things like this because we are thinking of the real focus of the weekend-meat and beer.  It was rainy and it was cold.  It was kinda shitty unless you’re a mold.  But it didn’t keep some seriously hard core and rad types from making it out.  We know who the die hards are.  More to come.  More to follow.  Keeping checking in to the FARCA blog.  I love you all.  Thanks so much for the support and knowing a good time when it hits you in the face.

Hey, just because it seems like we are living on the southeast coast of Alaska and a school of salmon just swam up your street, Sheeptown is not deterred.  All events are prepared for inclement conditions so get out and join us!  Tonight cruiser crawl starts at 6:30 from Wiseguy.  The BCRD Pool is equipped for monsoon conditions.  This will not stop our party!!!!!

If you see someone building an ark, tell them there is no use.  Bacon won’t make it to the afterlife.  We have their pig and are getting ready to roast it.

See you all out tonight.  Don’t be lame.  DBAP.

FARCA!!!

Nothing beats a good mantage before getting your manliness in order for the weekend.

On the cusp of such a wonderous weekend, we all must pause and thank the gods for what we have been given.  Here! here! to bikes, steaks, pigs, beers and friends!

Just looking at this photo gets my adrenaline pumping for this coming Friday.  Billy is readying the lawn by pouring gallons of water on it to make it all nice and green.  I don’t think there will be any fire marshall confrontations this year..in fact, the light emenating from the logs in this photo is not fire.  We went eco and these are LED’s.

If anyone knows where the spigot to the sky is, please let us know so we can turn it off for a few hours over the weekend.

We need someone with Ninja BBQ skills for Saturday night.  If anyone knows anyone or this might be them that is the anyone, please speak up now.  We will find creative ways to compensate you…for instance I have a yurt for two nights up on Lick Creek Summit……tradesies?

thanks!

to be clear this photo was lifted from zach hooper’s facecrack wall.  thanks zach- if you want it back let me know

We are getting all geared up for this thing we like to call the Sheeptown Fat Tire Rally and hope you can come out and join in the fun.  We have a lot of cool ideas–some of the stuff from last year and some new tricks to add to the bag.  Check out the details on the fliers here below and mark your calendar for the best weekend of the summer!!!!

I would like to take a second to thank these people in advance for the passion and hard work in helping us prepare for this event.  This is something for the community by the community and it is our hope that we can rally our bike geek contingency together to make Hailey and even better place to live through the creation of a bike friendly community.  This event is 100% non-profit and done with the hard work and personal time of volunteers.  If you made it out last year you know how much fun it was so invite your friends, bring your kids, and come on down and join us!

thanks,

chopper
