24 Hours of Great Glen Racing Action

This is @guerra , a.k.a Pain Face finishing off what's known as The Plundge. He's become hardcore, riding only a single speed and shunning most technology, though he showed up at this race with a new fork on his 1999 bike. It should be noted that he pulled the fastest time out of anyone on our team -- even those of us with fancy bikes.

We had a good weekend of racing, finishing 8th in the Sport class, doing 27 laps, which is about 225 miles, 32,000 vertical feet of climbing -- all off road, on a mountain bike.

BTW, more of our mountain bike photos can be found at Double Hop
