Things went pretty smoothly except they moved registration to the parking lot instead of the start line, so people were showing up late to the Athenian School area. Also since the forecast was for warm weather, fewer riders opted to have warm clothes when they got to the top, so there weren't nearly as many backpacks as usual. That meant there was kind of a last-minute rush to get things in my truck, but there weren't all that many things to load anyway.
The other change was at the Lower Lot there were chairs and event-type bike parking so the organization at the top was superb... much nicer than people just laying their bikes everywhere like in previous years.
Blog Reader Rick pulled off a PB of 55m04s... which is about my time to The Junction yesterday... of course The Challenge goes up The Easy Side.
