Ditto, AG - what a save on that wheel!! Glad you had fun and came out unscathed!

Aw, AG, you brought tears to my eyes! oh, the memories!

My DH does the 24 in Whistler each year - 5 man team, they won their age category last year, did 24 laps! Anyway, I do the volunteer time, food, laundry, and most of all cheering. It was a great race last year! Talk about being pumped for the whole 24 hours!!

They're racing again this year, and he and the team captain think they'll sit next year out. Their break will be my good fortune next year. They've offered to be the chief and mechanic when I put together an all-girls team next year. And these guys know how to plan to win! Whistler, by the way, is the only place on the 24 hour tour (from what I've been told) where you don't have to camp! And we DON'T! Condo all the way. Laundry, showers, baths, garage (the bike wrenching section), full kitchen, bedrooms with *doors*, Hot tub, and an 8 minute climb up the road to the start line. For the rest of the team not on a lap at that time, there's an exciting place to watch that's about a 30 second walk from the condo. it's such a great experience and so cool to have all the comforts of home!!

I did race one 24 hour race a bunch of years ago. It was such a smaller race than the adrenaline series - shorter, easier course, way fewer teams...but we won! and I was on my heavy Norco Torrent free-ride bike. heehee. got some good lap times and everything. And I LOVED the night rides! they are sooo fun!

Way to go, AG! You and your team rock!!

Namaste,
