Lars Sternberg and Aaron Bradford (the Baron of Radford), hit mach speeds on Sawtooth trail during the first stage of the 2016 Trans-Cascadia race this year near Crater Lake, Oregon.

Aaron, who won the race in 2015, leads out Lars on the trail while Lars waxes poetic about the earlier days of racing Enduro, meeting Aaron for the first time and becoming fast friends. Lars is the official Airtime Engineer and Cat Herder for Transition Bikes and the Baron of Radford continues to farm his hair while racing for Evil Bikes.

Baron, Krunk, Lars and Dunc.

Stay tuned for more trails and tales with Lars at the Trans-Cascadia and follow these two heavies of hijinx at @larsnbars at @aaron_bradford.
