So, I used to be into car tuning stuff before bike stuff. We'd always be waiting for the next year's "Hoonigan" or gymkhana video to come out.
The 2020 one came out the other day and was a fun watch. I'm not going to spam link it here and give them clicks, but basically police close off your hometown just for you to go race and do donuts and jumps around in your tuner car.
It got me thinking, if you could have any road/path/route closed off and setup to race around like damned fools just for you and your racing buddies..........what would it be.
It could be off-road, like a custom MTB setup at a farm. Could be a time trial or criterium route through a major city. Could include prior real life race routes now closed to public.
Doesn't have to be where you live either. What can you think of?
1. 2017 Tour de France stage 21 through the Grand Palais then around the Champs. Pretty unique thing to do going indoors through that thing.
2. Seems silly, but the loop of our beltline. It's exactly 25mi around it. Has shit pavement, so wouldn't work. But a 25mi TT around that.
3. A Manhattan road race or TT hitting up some major bridges and sights.
4. An active airforce base with cool planes and hangars open would be neat. Race around and through all that stuff.
5. Local variant of a BWR using some "no bikes allowed" stuff and bandit trails.
6. Chernobyl MTB ride. You know, the whole radiation problem.
