    OMFG what are the chances of catching that photo right when the Stan's is splooging out?!? That photographer needs to buy a lotto ticket with that luck.

    At the west end of the OTH tents (left side looking at them), there's a tree you walk around with your bike. Doing so will take you thru a gate with a reader and monitor that will confirm that you are you. This gate is also for guys to sign up onsite with cash. If you paid online, just walk thru and ask for a confirmation.

    Awesome, thanks form capturing the moment, it made a bad thing a little more tolerable. You just missed the impact of the guy that raced head first into the trashcan that was in the middle of the course.

    Mario; Sycros wheels at 28psi...shouldnt have been a problem?

    Correct, Rocket Rons with Stans. Anybody have a good, light 29er wheelset for sale, or want to buy a set of Syncros 2.5 that can be run tubeless "sometimes"

    I was cheering Ryan on during the race. She was probably wondering who this weirdo is that knows her name

    No it shouldnt but not familiar with them wheels that of the profile - however, this time around i ran 25 front 30 rear. Made sure there was enough traction when laying the hammer down and traction up front for softer terrain. Looking at it back words could of done 30/30 maybe 28/28

    This is just me tho-

    I'm looking forward to the next race and hopefully do a little better. Maybe start up front and not in the back if the pack. All in all it was still fun to be riding.

    Great venue. I just went to see the course and see what was going on. Great vibe and very fun to watch.That front group (the one with Lopes) was flying! I thought thye course was more of a road course then dirt but I could still see the fun.
