OT- Wilderness 101 Mountain Bike Race- Coburn to Coburn

Saturday morning I got to see the start of the Wilderness 101 mountain
bkie race. They start in the park at Coburn go up Penns Creek Rd,
make a left, cross the creek go up past Hemlock Acres and keep on
truckin' for a total of 101 miles. Incredible! The race ends coming
up from Ingleby across the trestle bridge, through the tunnel, a left
at Stans and head back to the park. The winner made it in about 6
hours and 40 minutes. I saw license plates from Florida, Michigan,
Indiana, Colorado... I talked to a couple of participants at the Elk
Creek Cafe Friday evening and they said it was a big deal. It was one
of 7 big races in the US. Here are a couple of videos. The handheld
camera did better for me then did the Kodak resting on my cooler. I
took the video about 1.5 miles from the park alonig Penns Creek. Over
200 riders paying up to $190 for this kind of punishment.
