I found two pictures of me at the start. Not surprisingly, I look much better than at the finish. However I am in the background of both pictures, so I don't plan to buy any copies.

Given the news announced yesterday, I expect that there will be an even bigger attendance at next year's event.

You can't look any worse than I do in my finish pictures.

I was surprised no one stuck a fork in me at the finish line - I was done and extra crispy!

My rider # doesn't show up (not surprisingly as I left it off of everything but my jersey pockets). One of these days when I have a few weeks of nothing to do I'll start sifting through the bazillion photos that are in there and see if I can find my pics. I'm sure I look like a corpse on two wheels

Yeah, I'd expect next year to be even bigger too. The more the merrier I say

In retrospect, I probably should have put my helmet number on the front, but I wanted my airflow!

I can't find ANY pictures of me from Kreutz Photography. Maybe next year.

Since I was one of the very last people to come in there are plenty pictures of me at the finish. Not sure that is a good thing though.

#1281...great shots of me and my older brother crossing the finish line together. Oh the memories of those last 30 miles, he was so bonked and exhausted I thought I was going to have to throw him over my shoulder
