Getting jitters at the start

Can you find the Mountain Goat? He was waiting for me at the top of this climb and then slowly walked away up this slope.

Approaching the top of Radical Hill.

Scott S. is in this picture somewhere…to give it some scale!

Saints John Road coming down from Radical Hill with a neat sunset behind!

Stopping in the 24hr bathroom at the Keystone base area sometime around 1am. There was a beer fest at Keystone and there were still some drunkards stumbling around, so I brought my bike right into the bathroom with me!

Sunrise! Finally! 8.5 hours of night riding and climbing later it felt nice to see the sun again. Shirey left me in the dust on the nasty Garibaldi Gulch descent, so I was on my own here – but I caught him again on Galena Ditch.

Here’s Ken at the race check-in/check-out basecamp.

Pretty view of Keystone Gulch on Sunday morning.

Montezuma, CO. Basecamp of the old Montezuma’s Revenge race held in the 80’s and 90’s.

Gotta have some beers after!
