Thanks to all who participated in this years Fall Challenge. We had a great time despite Saturday's foul weather! Actually, the rain slowed to a moderate shower during the race, compared to the deluge before and after. The competition was fierce coming up the mountain, with at least three former T.H.C. Champions in the running! Up top, we had our first ever sprint for the finish line where Jamie nudged by Andrew for the official First Place victory, and just about 20 seconds later John Onderdonk finished in Third Place. Aurora Lamperetta (also a former Champion) was the only woman aggressive enough to compete in the Challenge under such nasty conditions, and she finished quite respectably ahead of some pretty bad-ass guys (myself included)!

Thanks again for all who came out for making this Fall's Challenge one of the best!
