We're late. We apologize, but things have been a bit crazy in recent months. Anyway, we were remiss in awarding prizes for best blog, best photo and best video from the 24 Hours of Moab race back in October. But we have 3 cool Nite Rider lighting systems to give away and we want to honor our commitments, so let's do it! Best photo |

OK, so we're late on this one. We apologize, but things have been a bit crazy in recent months.

More 24 Hour Musings...

I've got to say that, in the days since competing in my first solo 24 hour at the 24 Hours of Landahl, my life has taken on a much more reflective nature as I struggle to find significance in my everyday life. Right now life seems really complicated, and for what? For the burden of house and car payments every month? Or for the luxury of having a roof over our heads every night and a car to drive whenever we need it? Where does my bike fit into my synthetic life?

Thanks!

I want to give a big thanks to Laird for all of the hard work he does so people like me can have the opportunity to race in extraordinary events like the Granny Gear 24 Hours of Conyers. Granny Gear is a fantastic organization, and they have a great national race series. I am positive that this event will continue to grow, and will become as big as the Big Bear event. Also a HUGE shout to SORBA for the work on the trail. This was the best shape I have seen Conyers in. I am a member of SORBA (via TORC in North Carolina), and the amount of work they do is mind boggling! Thanks everyone! |
