Indeed! way to tough it out, that's what it's all about, pushing yourself and doing what you didn't think you could!

Where are you getting that info? Not know is literally eating me alive and has reduced at work efficiency by at least 20%.

P.S Nice to meet you.

Only reduced it by 20%? Lucky you. I think I am only putting out about 5% right now. The other 95% is still either buzzing from the Kings or anticipating results.

Boom is taller than me and we traded places back and forth on stage 3, so it was eyewitness information.

Srsly, I saw the results at the end of stage 2 and on the Sunday morning in the Roundhouse. They were printed out and there were lots of folks hanging around. it was by the flaik pickup /Olympic display. I did get 100 pts on stage 3 for a 321 going in to Kong

Part of me wants to see results, part of me doesn't care. I had a few problems, did not do very well overall, but had such an amazing time overall, that today and yesterday has had that nice warm feeling of having just come back from an amazing holiday, even though it was just a 3 day sufferfest.

Incredible event....so much fun -especially for someone like myself that has barely sampled the riding in Whis besides the WBP.. Big thanks to Tony, WORCA and and all the vollys for putting it all together. Even bigger thanks to the Tony and the other riders (you know who you are!) that helped me get out after I broke my collarbone on Rockwork - I owe you all some beers! I am sad that I didn't finish though - oh well - congrats to all of you that did! The atmosphere and camaraderie amongst the riders was so positive - regardless of race standings or skill level. Very refreshing....

was that you bonktonk? i was in the group and carried your bike down to the flank. That was probably the worst place to bail in pretty much the entire race, shit was wild though there. Definitely one of the worst crashes i've seen in real life, stoked you got away with just the clavicle as it could have been way worse!

Was just done at the party. Too tired to eat so I packed up and left town. Too bad because the food looked really good.
