I was able to get some rides in with JD and Anthony (and his buddy, sorry can't remember his name) after the road race last year and we had a pretty good time. Drank a few beers as well, of course.
I have always had great experiences with riders and climbers I've met on the web, if you are here for the event and want to ride the trails on Sunday or Monday, feel free to look me up.
