Nothing wrong with a few good ass clowns. Peabody if it is too wet and muddy for you to ride, join my lazy arsss at the top of the hill and cheer the others on.

Still raining in GR.

Anyone else second guessing their tire selection? I put cross tires on mtb. Now thinking I should switch back in the morning.

If he has a tow rope, I am bringing the wakeboard, it should be faster!

I'm running 2.1's although they are pretty fast with not much tread.

Awesome race! The course was in excellent condition considering all the rain. A little soft in areas, a few puddles, and the bike will need a good cleaning, but absolutely no complaints.

Kudos to Rick and guys crew for another great event. He puts a lot of other race promoters to shame.

WOW. That was a lot of fun. Not exactly what I expected, but still fun! I thought that there would be much more mud than there was. My bike is a hot mess, and I am getting ready to clean it. Great even, and huge thanks to everyone who put this on. Course was very well marked, ample parking, and thanks to all of volunteers and Rick for making this a great race.

Great conditions. Even the tire sucking 2 track could have been A LOT worse. It was fun being able to crank your ass off (for me)to the finish after getting out of that second sandy 2 track.
Thank you Rick Plite and your army of volunteers. You guys are the best.

Let me add to the cavalcade of kudos. :icon_thumleft:

I hope you keep the Fat Bike category. Even though it was the "right tool" for only about 10% of the course, I found it not to be a major detriment for about 90% of the other 90% (even though I was spit out the back of the wave from the get-go :P)
