After standing for an hour at the finish line of the Mt Bachelor climb on the Cascade Classic 2005, we finally asked the race crew in the trailer across from us if maybe, just maybe, the glass should be swept up. We volunteered the labor but they had to provide the brooms. Hey, it meant we had live color commentary of our performance.
