    Nice, B!!

    I tried Shasta years ago on the first anniversary of my Dad's death. I was so ill prepared - had had foot surgery about 5 months earlier and was in piss poor shape. It kicked my ass, and I didn't make it past about 12,500. I'd be up for trying again.

    Nice pix, and glad you did it!!

    You thinking the weekend of the 8th or the weekend of the 15th? I might be able to spring one or the other free (but I really should be on my mountain bike).

    I put it on upside down and then I couldn't get it off to re-apply. Since it's the front license plate no one cares.

    Love that the racer steeze can appear on any aspect at any moment. Great TR (and nice form too...AT boots and all!)
