SoCal Fat Tire Epic Oct 3rd - W. Coast Marathon Champs

Sounds like it was a blast, but who's got pics?!?!

And just for comparisons-like, if anyone has ridden this new race of Jason's as well as the Whisky Off Road 50 in Prescott, I'd like to know which one you think is tougher? Or are they just different?

I've ridden in several of the 12 Hours of Temecula races for the past few years, but this course sounded more, um... EPIC... than those courses (which seems fitting).

Anyone care to weigh in?

This was a very good event and one I hope continues year after year. A little bit of everything on this course. Other than losing a water bottle on a mini-crash and a very noisy chain, I had no problems and finished is my target time of 4.5. Missed the post-race festivities b/c I had to get home for a prior commitment.

Are results or photos posted anywhere?

Luck #13 in Sport Men for me.

Read post #145. As my grandfather would say, if it was a snake it would have bit ya'

 

Snakes are stealthy.....In his case,
a train coming from 2 miles away, horn blaring, would have ran him over...

Still awaiting all the pics taken from this event. I saw 3 photographers on the course. One near the dam climb going down that rutted ST, and the other past the water tower at the end as your riding along Hwy 79. Then of course the pics from the "podium" before the party.
