My legs are hurty.
Good times. Definitely lived up to the moniker "Wade's Excellent Adventure". I didn't study the map in great detail so experienced a few surprises like the traverse after Expresso, and didn't really know much about the zone where jerry-rig, pink starfish, etc were located. Nice to see new zones that fall outside my normal loops.
Huge props to the supporters (Rocky Mountain Bicycles, Marzocchi, Race Face, Bell Helmets, Oakley, Solestar) of the race. There was so much swag being thrown around afterwards at the pub. People were stoked!
Most importantly, huge thanks to Maya, Brian, Wade, and the slew of volunteers: NSMBA raised over $4500 for the trails! This more than covers any repairs required from the race so there's some good cash left for new and improved trails!
This pretty much covers it. Thanks Brian, Maya, Wade and all volunteers for a great day. It was clear that a ton of work went into making this an awesome event. It was the details - the ice cream truck, the food stop at the 5th, pulled pork at the end, the speed trap, Tippie keeping the energy high, tons of prizes (those who skipped the pub will want to go next time. There were more prizes than people).
