This is a blog dedicated to ALL who ride. NimrodsRacing is a local "condition" that is rapidly spreading into a "pandemic"! We are cyclists, some fast, some well-balanced, some (like me) slightly off kilter, pro, cat 5, enthusiasts, and newbies. We cheer for the underdog! We welcome challenges and laugh at adversity. We race because friendship and camaraderie grow through the sweat and struggles placed before us - just kidding, WE ARE NIMRODS!

Captain Nimrod - RIP



It is with bewilderment and sadness that I post the loss of a fellow cycling enthusiast and Nimrod. Mr. Chris Hipp was Captain Nimrod to those who knew him. On his way to his regular weekend group ride Chris had an aneurysm and died. I was not fortunate enough to ever ride with him, however, from the posts that I have read, even a message from Lance Armstrong, Chris was a GREAT person and cyclist. He will be sorely missed from the pack and his Nimrodity will forever remain. He was a lover of life, his wife Lorraine and tearing up the tarmac. May he rest in peace and his memory be fuel for the fire's of life still burning in those who knew the Captain!

Nimrods Racing was touring the California coast and stopped by the Hammer Nutrition Company in beautiful Whitefish, Montana. The company headquarters was open and modern with team jerseys encased in glass frames adorning the walls. Proprietor Brian Frank has built a highly professional yet fun work environment and my tour of their facilities was awesome!

Nimrods representing in full effect! Might try to work a sponsorship deal with them - if "we" ever post some results.
