My best lap this year was right at 1 hour. They lengthened the course
by a 1/4 to a 1/2 mile, hence my slower time than last year. Kai did a
couple sub-hour laps, I think his best was :54. His night laps were
faster than a lot of biker's times.

Nice tool belt!

Way to go guys - Kai you're awesome! Would it be possible to use a 29er
(or even a Coker) on this course? We generally find that a 29er with
150mm cranks really moves on a course that is too technical for Cokers.
Regardless, great effort!

a 29er might be doable for someone with massive legs. you'd be pushing
up most the hills and some of the downhills as well, but the flat's you
could really crank on. i had enough problems riding more than 75% of the
course on a 24 with 175s, george had a 26 with a brake and 175s and i
think he did fine, 29 might be just a bit too big.
