Granny and YourMTB.com are seeking 3 "YourMTB correspondents" for each race in the series to take photos and/or shoot video and write some words about their 24 hour experiences.

The reward: Each of our correspondents will get free entry into the race ($140 value) for any amateur classes.

(Granny will comp your portion of the team fee or refund your portion if you are already registered and you are selected.)

Granny Gear Productions and YourMTB.com have teamed up (OK, after the fact) to host a Grassroots Channel for this year's 24 Hours of Vail Lake, which was held on April 21-22.

Did you compete in the race, or were you a spectator? If so, share your photos, videos and/or stories about the event on the 24 Hours of Vail Lake Grassroots Channel.

As an added bonus, we're giving away prizes to those who post the best stuff! Check it:

BEST PHOTO: Post your pictures from the weekend -- the racing, the Lemans start, the athletes, the spandex, the support crews, the crowd, the yawns, sleeping racers, sunrise over the course, party blackmail-caliber photo ... ANYTHING goes! In mid May, the best pic of the bunch will be chosen. Best photo winner shall receive a sweet wool cycling jersey from Ibex, plus a YourMTB.com t-shirt.
