I'm in...bob. it's a post-Christmas miracle! I'm in for both. thanks for the clarification.<br /><br />jdub - here's the answer to your question: "To mountain men, a large low-lying valley, such as this, with abundant beaver and game was called a "hole." Mountain men preferred these areas of numerous beaver rich streams as they provided ample food and comfortable camping in addition to beaver pelts. Pierre's Hole was named in honor of "le grand Pierre" Tivanitagon, a Hudson's Bay Company trader said to be of Iroquois descent, who was killed in a battle with Blackfoot Indians in 1827."<br /><br />i'll see you up there in August!<br /><br />and yes, i am aware and fully anticipate the influx of "abundant beaver/hole" comments to hit this thread.erichttp://theZeph.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624647881963192268.post-45566173872957240642010-12-23T08:20:40.500-07:002010-12-23T08:20:40.500-07:00Why is that place called Pierres Hole anyway?
B...Why is that place called Pierres Hole anyway? <br /><br />Bob's race is a given due to not needing to roll out of bed till 15 minutes before the start. I may need to be coerced into riding into/around Pierre's hole.Jasonhttp://www.whitesadventures.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624647881963192268.post-60371796761383390692010-12-22T17:53:28.708-07:002010-12-22T17:53:28.708-07:00Eric, Pierres hole is on the 6th, Draper Super XC ...Eric, Pierres hole is on the 6th, Draper Super XC is on the 20th.<br /><br />It's a go for both :)<br /><br />Draper Super XC will start at 8 am as well, be done by noon.StupidBikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994994198022740179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624647881963192268.post-74626458266236093912010-12-21T08:12:56.602-07:002010-12-21T08:12:56.602-07:00slightly conflicted now. Pierre's Hole and the...slightly conflicted now. Pierre's Hole and the Draper Super CX are on the same weekend. Thinking Targhee in August will be cooler than Draper. Plus they are adding more 1-track up there so it will be 3, 33 mile loops.<br /><br />Don't forget either 24 Hours of Moab or 25 Hours of Frog Hollow.<br /><br />I think the best part of your schedule is October-December.

All those empty stares from the clientele was pure inspiration. <br /><br />Damn the organizers for putting Mesa Verde on Mother's Day weekend again. I can probably make it happen but I'll have to plant the seed a little earlier, like now.eeeeeeeeeevilbankshttp://twitter.com/evilbanksnoreply@blogger.com
