Ditto everybody!!!! Fantastic event period. You're right Tim, I like to think I could hack a race like that, but when you hear the stories, I start to wonder...

Thanks to the organisors, sponsors, racers et al - you all made this middle aged man very happy.

And the racer's eye reports are just wonderful. Thankyou.

We were probably still the wrong side of Portland when they were taken!
