I agree with you - anyone who competes in this deserves a lot of credit for such an amazing accomplishment! I don't know Laurent - I'm thinking the falls from climbing might hurt more! Hopefully you'll never find out! Ed, I figured you had a vested interest in her – she did awesome, winning the solo women division of the 24 hours.

Eszter is a friend and my fiance was there supporting her. Pua, Sarah and Eszter all did great, they deserve credit for tremendous efforts and it was fun watching the race unfold. Not only are the pictures on this blog wonderful but the shared information is really appreciated - thanks very much!! Ed I was being a bit facetious with my comment.

I wasn't there to photograph Eszter, but did see her pass by on what ended up being her final lap, so I did grab some shots of her then. Thanks a lot Ed!

The conveyor belts that lined that sandy wash were definitely moved. Some of the riders asked if we would move the back, but they were too heavy for two people to move - so I don't think that happened because of the bikers - somebody went to a lot of work to slide those off to the side. I don't get why someone would do something like that. Hi Ryan,

The day before quite a few of us bailed on it, but during the early laps of the race that line was perfect. I tried the same line during my 3am lap and was very surprised when my front tire went down into that thing...the guy behind me did the same thing :) We were suprised by it because during our earlier lap the hole wasn’t there.

Ryan - wow, that would have been no fun at 3 a.m.! We rode out there today, that is a tough trial, don't know how you do it at night. Great job just to be competing in this event! Joni, Carl - it does look like someone dug a whole there. I didn't, but seeing so many rider being surprised by it made me wonder. Thanks.

Looks like someone dug a hole under the front wheel of the rider flipping over. Love the riders asking if you’d gotten a photo of them!
