Probably sponsored by The National Bear Feeders Association. To introduce new protein sources into their diets. Hell most of themn bikers are probably pretty lean too, be kind of an Atkins diet for bears.

I would suggest Moab. It's a great race off the beaten track with beautiful scenery. I've been to the race there 3 times and had a blast each time.

Which gives me a thought. There are a lot of cyclists here, maybe a BF team for next year's race there. It's in Oct so there's plenty of time to organize something and get in shape for it. I don't race, I just ride, but I'd gladly participate as support....I'm a pretty good wrench.
