    1st Place Overall at the Tahoe-Sierra 100 Mile MTB Race

    Had a good result at this tough-as-nails 100-miler last weekend becoming the only rider to take wins in both the single speed category (2012) and now the overall as well (this past Saturday). I'm pretty stoked as I never thought I could possibly win one of these things. The feeling of everything finally coming together is pretty sweet.

    Wrote up a race report, and posted it here if you are interested in checking it out:

    Impressive. Congratulations Mr Shoelaces. I have to say I'm not surprised you won one of those monsters, though!

    Congrats! It's an accomplishment just to finish one of those races much less win it.
