I think Ron was right on with this race. It was a crazy drive in
February from Bend, Lots of fun and lots of pain. My only comment is
why not in March. I think the organizers agree with this. This race
was 9 weeks from my last cross race and 8 weeks until my next mtn
race. Also we need a few more of the 55+ men out there. Ron and I
touching the 60 mark and we are still going.
