Sad to read that.

Results are posted at this 'link'
(http://www.wowmtb.com/results/2007_24hr.htm).

Team USA did 11 laps and Team Canada did 8 laps, mostly because they
all got some sleep. And Team USA had Owen (MurdeMental) from Montreal,
so we weren't exactly TeamUSA. Vince from Montreal (on TeamCanada)
rode the hell out his coker, doing a 1:02 lap his first time around.
If you look at the results posted above you can see how sick that is,
as it's faster than -*many *-of the MTBers' laps.

Roland posted a 1:13 and my best was a 1:32. It was way fun, but for
the full writeup and photos, you may have to wait for the next issue of
UNI magazine. 😄

We were laughing about it on the ride home to Albany, too.

Roland: "You wanted to see me?"
Me: "No - Brian's a scumbag, that's what's happening!"

Still makes me laugh, too, and I was the "butt" of the joke.

- Arrival on the site around 1 o'clock saturday morning. As usual,
unicyclists are still up and chilling by the camp fire while mtbers
are resting quietly.😎

- My ''annual english practice'' start hard by speaking with the
crazy ontario guy (aka brian) who were around the said campfire for a
while.😉

- Eating one goood mango just after waking up sat' morning.🙂

- On the first lap, Roland did a great run for team usa. Tim is
nowhere in sight... he came 40min later, a crank and a piece of hub
in his hand.:eek:

- Discovering the course on my first lap leads to a smile on my face!
(well except on a few steep climbs!!)Almost each turn have a berm so
it's duper fun and keep the speed of the 36er.

- Weather on saturday was awesomely sunny.

- Night laps are always a special experience with lots of UPDs.

- Having a good night of sleep on a 24h race is luxury I can
afford.😄

- Sunday was rainy and cold. But the course was still great to ride!

- Jason (Brian's bro) leaving once again before the end of the
24h.🙄

- Lots of respect from the mtbers through the whole weekend.

- Seeing all of you there was the greatest part of it!🙂

an offical Team USA - Team Can next year and will be in the prize draw
for things the winners got this year like camelbacks and tirepumps etc,
whatever the sponsors ciontribute, i suppose.

This announcement was followed by a loud "Whoa!" from all the MTBers, as
it was a faster lap than many bike laps.

shape for that race.
