TAF

There will be rider numbers this year, largely to assist the Thumper Trail Angels in counting riders in and out - most people exiting Thumper can't remember their own name, or manage to give a different name than the one they gave going in. While it's true that not everyone manages the full route - although most do - anyone vying for a Top Twenty position has to show the correct mileage on their GPS when they cross the finish line, and any subsequent protests are taken seriously (and conducted in private). A couple of positions were changed last year alone, based on protests and Strava tracks. If everyone uses a GPS and posts the track, it should be obvious if anyone missed a portion of the route.

You get what you pay for, at the EB!

Quite a lot of prep work has already taken place for this year's EB. Trail Angels have been recruited, the turns on the Green Belt have been marked, an additional water stop has been added, and the route is being checked to make sure nothing has changed since last year. Stickers and decent first place finisher awards have been made, tee shirt ordering is being worked on. Once everything is as final as it can be, and the weather has cooled off some, one or two pre-rides will be announced. Hey, you can go ride any of it at any time, though!

I'm not sure he even has a bike anymore!

Yawn. Better get going if you want to have the most posts on austinmountainbiking.com!

... hey, it's worth a try!

Yaaaay - it wouldn't be the same without Bartman!

Never gets old!

I don't see a separate forum for Seth's 'Beg and Sell' posts.
