    opinions re: Bicycle Bungee....????? is this stupid? brilliant? insane?

    Communication is key with using one though. The shorter the rope or bungee, the caboose is more restricted and the more you need to act in unison. The more space between, caboose has more freedom I guess but could be harder to easily hear one another. It actually takes some practice. You have to...

    Sea otter 2017

    Something jumped out at me as I was scrolling through my Instagram today. Thanks for sharing all of the pics, stories, experiences, and recaps from Sea Otter. It's really cool (and inspiring!) to see a familiar face lining up among world's top pros! At a race like this, do you get pre-race...

    Congrats again on baby #3!! This will be an excellent thread to follow, and I'm looking forward to it. I truly do not know how you do it all, kudos to you! Considering I look like the book cover gal in the matching sweat suit on a regular day, I just might fit right in here (@axcxnj and I...

    Utah x 1,000, if you can believe that. Even the other team member JD was maybe Utah x 200. Tamela and JD shared a hotel room before and after, pretty sure they didn't actually sleep ever but rather just talked through the night and shared stories with one another :) amazing people. It does...

    Not to turn this recap into an Aaron and Aly show, but this had to have been one of the three toughest moments in the race on my side. Being part of race staff and also wanting best for you and team... from the outside looking in, and having the knowledge of how the race, certain legs, other...

    The blue dots on those tracking maps is your team's location every 10 minutes sent by the satellite tracking device (same thing that provided the live "dot watching"), right?

    Mountain Creek XC rides back on Thursday nights starting 6/30!

    I'm interested in pre-riding the course but really unfamiliar with how the mtn creek trails work. Does anyone know if the course will be marked and/or course map posted, and is it open to pre-ride outside of those scheduled pre-rides? If so, do you have to be out of there by 7pm, and are the...

    That Swedish Armed Forces team was able to finish on 2 of their original bikes and then 2 borrowed bikes from racers who dropped and no longer needed theirs. They are the team that previously had the rear hub blow up issue at the beginning. Same thing happened to another team member this...

    I should have good service now. It's been a rough night, few teams are dropping just can't push any longer and concerned about distance and making the cutoff and it's been really really cold tonight. This has been the most depleted I've seen all teams. Of course there are two long nasty climbs...

    All is well, team is good again. They did flip, it was Aaron's and Johns boat. They lost it down some rapids with their paddles and Aaron's pack which had his mandatory gear he had to carry at all times, not sure what that impact or penalty will be. Tough portage out where they had to pull out...

    Not a good day it seems. Don't know details yet, just got service, but I was told they lost their paddles and their portage of their boats to next TA took long.e r than anticipated. My guess is they flipped in the water (heard it was a fast river with rocks) that's how they lost their paddles...

    3 hours of sleep in the bank, they finished that paddle this morning. Came in dry, somehow. Transitioned to bikes for 20 techy miles this morning and they'll need to be back on the water by 10am for last paddling leg of 30 miles. Their plan is to stay on that full course. Spirits are high...

    So the winds HAD been favorable earlier, top teams started coming into transition at 940 pm with other teams still on last paddling leg or about to start it or not there yet. Fast forward a couple hours and the winds picked up making that paddle even harder because they were paddling into the...

    That page isn't working for me on the mobile site, but it might be here ... http://www.cowboytoughwy.com/#!toughgrams/ccvg It should be an option under the Tracking area of the website. Under tracking are options for Course Info, Leaderboard, Live Map, Toughgrams, and so on. That bucket thing...
