I know I am jumping on this thread bandwagon like buying a fixed gear bike in 2009 but seriously, did anyone really expect something to be easy that's associated with Petr and Erik Tonkin?

I had an excellent time, and I don't doubt that it was pretty savage on a lot of people. It was totally savage on me, I had to try and run with my right leg straight because my quad was cramping so bad by the end, but that's what mountain bike racing is all about. It's not like Mike 'The Ripper' had to apologize for TOE 2007 where it rained for all 6 hours of my brutally slow race with my brakes dragging the whole way.

And it builds character.
