Jealous! Wasn’t in the cards for me this year, but maybe next year for my birthday (Halloween).
How were accommodations? Need a sober roomie?Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

I was lucky to be down there with another sober buddy and our two other roomies in the bunkhouse were super chill dudes from Bentonville, AR.
It was double occupancy in the hotel on nights 1 and 5 and nights 2,3,4 were in these cabins/bunk houses up in the mountains. The hotel was pretty nice. The bunkhouse deal was pretty rustic, but it didn't matter cause we were smoked at night after racing. Some big ass tarantulas down there though!!
You should sign up for next year!

It’s on ‘the list’.
I’ll look, but do you know if masters is 40+ for all ages above that?

TSN is an experience. Glad It went well. How was the food?

We had a couple nights in the city to walk around. We tried to get a table at Casa Oaxaca and couldn't, but got a table at Pitonia and it was fucking insane. https://pitiona.com/
Next trip we need to find the real hole in the wall places that are super authentic. The food at the race was pretty good, especially the local style BBQ the first night. Being gluten free was somewhat of a struggle. Only myself and one other racer (Sarah who was 3rd in pro women) were gluten free. We had to kinda bug them to make anything gluten free and/or GF and veggie in her case. Also there wasn't much to drink besides beer and mezcal (and water obviously)......I'm just bringing my own cases of seltzers up the mountain with me next time.

GF and sober at that race? I thought it was hard enough being vegetarian and an alcoholic.

WG, how many trails are there, and are they open for regular use? (Some moto trails I've been on in MX are on private land and only open for events.) I love Oaxaca and would love to go back with bikes... Does it seem like a place one could just rock up to and enjoy? (I speak excellent Spanish, FWIW.)
ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

My Spanish is fairly OK as well. I just paid for my 2022 entry, HMFBD to me!

I realize it’s bike racing 2022, but I just got into Trans Madeira for next year. So stoked.

For sure. The best menudo I've ever had was in the market. And then the pan de muerto with hot chocolate to dip it in....
Is this the same group that runs the TSN?: https://oaxacabikeexpeditions.com/2020tour/
Wife and I are already talking about going back in 2022 but I'm not really interested in racing, but a few casual days riding would be great.

Different outfit.
Alvy (the dude who helps run all the BME races) and his crew put on the race and do "The Ride" :

Interesting, I am also thinking about doing the Jackson Hole Rendezvous event if they host it again in ‘22…
