They were unique to the Bite Hard last year. Not anywhere on the race calendar do you find an event that hands out jeroboam sized bottled os Brut as trophies. These are NOT your typical bottle of Brut – these are three liters (or four 750ml standard bottles) of the best Brut you can find.

Roederer is a premier manufacturer of Brut, it’s roots firmly planted in the Champagne region of France, the Bite Hard road race is proud and honored to have them as a sponsor again for 2013. We know their bottles were well received in 2012 and can think of 10 lucky winners of their respective fields that went home with one of the 2 jeroboams, magnums or 750′s handed out to the lower categories.

We will again be handing out 1 jeroboam each for the P1,2 Mens and Women’s race; a magnum for the Mstr 35+ 1,2,3 and Mstr 45+ 1,2,3; and 750ml bottles for the remaining fields.

The bottles will again have the wine makers signature on them and the event name and date, so you can keep them as your trophy once you finish celebrating.

Size comparison: Kurt Wolfgang is really tall – he’s holding the Jerobaum after winning the 2012 Mens P1,2 race last year:

Mendocino Bike Sprite, a local guided MTB tour company based out of Ft. Bragg, has jumped on board as a Bite Hard race sponsor for 2013 with one heck of a prize: a guided day on the mountain bike for two on the Mendocino coast. This is a $170 value and an excellent way to check out the best single track California has to offer.

We’ll be giving this prize to fastest time during the Gran Fondo on race day. So if you’re riding the Gran Fondo you might want to think about riding it faster!

Offering customers rides of varying skill levels, bicycle maintenance  and rentals as well as some very awesome guides, a Bike Sprite day in the redwoods is a rad experience and not soon forgotten. Go check em out at http://www.mendobikesprite.com
