Mike,
All of us riding are so fortunate that you have the passion needed to make races like the TOE take place. Your drive and support of your family and friends (and that support is so huge it is another whole posting) is what gives us the opportunity to race and the sponsors to show their support with the high quality access, prizes and swag.
I want to let everyone know that it was an honor to be riding that course with them, even if they left me in the dust. We all traveled the same path. The ride was tough, beautiful, super exciting and fast. The group of riders that traveled in the same basic time zone that I was in were all working hard, but having a good time out there. We could not have asked for a better prime time of wild iris blooms and as was expected the trail conditions were perfect. There are experiences in life (even with the leftover soreness) that are just so sweet that they really cannot be fully explained. TOE was one. Thanks for giving so many the chance to have these experiences.
And Hey! IT REALLY MAKES SHORT TRACK SEEM "SHORT"
