 The Tour de Nez Clunker Classic, a one mile bike race that supports cheating, fighting, drinking and debauchery, takes to the streets in Truckee, Tahoe City and Reno on June 22nd-24th as part of the 14th Annual Tour de Nez, a celebration of cycling.
Designed for those riders and cycling enthusiasts who will never compete in any sort of pro bike racing, the Tour de Nez Clunker Classic embodies the spirit of the Tour de Nez and its festival-like atmosphere. Anything with two wheels and weighing over 35 pounds qualifies (the judges can be bribed with beer) -Choppers, Low Riders, Sting Rays, Tall Bikes and Swing Bikes are all encouraged to enter, but be warned, pushing, pulling and fighting is probably the only way to win.
"The outlaw segment of this year’s Tour de Nez; “the Clunker Classic” is really upping the ante,” said race promoter and Supreme Commander Tim Healion. “We’re taking what has traditionally been a single lap around the criterium course in Reno, NV and turning it into a three day series in Reno, Tahoe City and Truckee. Again for this year, cheating is absolutely advised.”
The competition is still fierce, with a 12 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon being awarded to the winner, but history has proven that many competitors still never make it to the finish line, getting waylaid instead at the many watering holes lining the course.
