    The winner is some guy from NY who's in the IT industry. How likely is it that he went a little over the top voting for himself from anon. accounts? If he's an IT guy and manages Exchange, iMail, etc. servers, he most likely has access to hundreds of email accounts. What's to stop him from using said accounts and voting for himself a few hundred times? I hope SC is keeping track of IP addresses and even then, he could easily use a proxy to get around that. Cheating with technology is too easy and tempting and in this case, I would not be the least bit surprised it happened.

    Congrats, Doug. :beer:
    I'm assuming the Nomad is an STR community bike from here on out. That is, after you're done with The Hell Ride, of course. :?:

    I guess now is the time to start training in ernest at elevation. And pray that Mark Weir blows up another rear rim and DNF's in the race. His competition was lucky he flatted on Sunday in the Downhill.

    Downieville eats tires of those that pick sloppy lines.
