These guys all braved a nasty rain, flash floods, and flat tires, and they never really let any of that slow them down. I was out on the course checking in with some of our volunteers when I ran into Chuck and was amazed when he said he only had 2 stops left. I ended up having to race Chuck back to the finish, since I was the finish line judge. I beat him back, but not by much! Great ride, Chuck.
While the weather didn't "cooperate" with the race in the traditional sense, I'd venture to say it made the event a lot more interesting. There were lots of flat tires, illegible/lost manifests or maps, and other challenges only a day-long soaking rain can provide.
I want to give a big THANK YOU to our sponsors: KHS Bicycles, Masi Bicycles, Chrome Bags, the Fort Worth Cats, and Rahr & Sons Brewing all stepped up and made sure our riders and volunteers went home with a little something for their efforts. Thanks also to our volunteers who manned the signature checkpoints; we couldn't have done it without you.
There are LOTS of photos from this event that I will start posting over the next few days, so those of you who stayed home can see how much fun you missed.

I still can't believe I showed Chuck where that elevator was... He'd probably still be looking for it.
Man that was a blast. Can't wait to do it again. I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning since this was my first try at anything even remotely like this. Gutted it out though and had fun. The rain was a killer though.
Thanks to all the volunteers out there. It definately made it more fun for me. Even gave me encouragement when I needed it!
You gave me a DNF?!?! How do I get a DNF if I didn't even start?? See if I shop at your DNF'in store ever again...

Oh. Haha. Upon further review, it appears I got a "DNS." That makes more sense. Sorry guys, I'm an idiot. I love you Bernie, you're the main man in my life.

Big thanks to Jason and Bernie! That was almost too much fun. I can't wait for the next one.
PICTURES!
what's DNF?
DNF= Did Not Finish
DNS= Did Not Show
DNF doesn't necessarily mean "Quit early and came back, whining".
It also could mean the navigator stepped on his willie and forgot a stop till it was too late to go back and pick it up.
Only hole in the day though, all the rest was gold.
Heh, Bernie: you guys do actually know my name, right?
