The point is that you need somewhere other than your tent (which will likely feel like an oven) to get out of the sun in the middle of the day. Because as Chris from Jackson, Wyoming, says, Festivals get pretty F'n hot!On that note, here are more words of wisdom from you, our readers, on festival-going:Diner prep wastes valuable jamming time, so replica Bell & Ross watch minimize it! wrote Arthur from Redwood City, California. Arthur, we couldn’t agree more. Bring snacks for breakfast and lunch, but plan on buying your dinner (we suggest gyros and butterfly fries) from a vendor. Six bucks is worth not missing Keller Williams.Bring earplugs if you want to sleep during the late-night campfire renditions of Me and Bobby McGee.
True wisdom. We managed to forget the earplugs, and, thus, couldn’t sleep for more than two hours at a time.Bring a Nalgene wide-necked pee bottle—just don't get it confused with your drinking water bottle. We hope this person wasn’t camping next to us. Denny from Pittsburgh brings a wagon to the festival. It carries everything: tents, replica Bell & Ross watch coolers, kids, whatever. The hills at Marvin's Mountain Top are steep, and a wagon makes carrying it ALL GOOD. (You knew we had to slip one All Good reference in there.) This really sounds like a must for people with kids. Yes, people bring children to these things.
On the flip side, despite having only two geared riders finish in front of me, I think SS is considerably slower due to the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the course. You gear for the flats or you gear for the climbs. Pros/cons the same as any other course?Lynda: At Moab I predicted the gearie winners would be two laps ahead of the SS winners and was correct in both the men and womens fields. On other more SS friendly courses, like 24 Hours in the Old replica Chopard watches Pueblo, SS winners can finish a lap up on the gearie field. What was key about your setup for the race at this venue?Lynda: Full suspension! Big fat floaty 29inch tires. The most awesome mojo furnace of a support crew.If you had one thing to improve for the race, what would it be?Lynda: Nothing. I won the National Championship title!
