Saturday was Dirt, Sweat & Gears, the 2nd annual 12-hour race in Fayetteville, TN. It was a doozy. Notice the guy's rear derailleur in the photo--yep, it's trashed. After a heavy rain Friday night the mud was bad on the first lap and there were a lot of cycle casualties. But the weather cleared and it became a beautiful day. Hard 10-mile trail but a great event. DSG is a superbly organized race and everyone on the trail was courteous and helpful. I was so tired afterwards it was all I could do to stand and listen to the awards ceremony.
