To all those that have called, emailed, and PM'ed me about this: Please, stop. I'm truly glad that the race captured your imagination and made you suffer and see god and all that. It was a great race. But my involvement in it has come to an end.
No amount of pleas, offers to build a website, offers to have your SO police the course, offers to register a domain name, offers to provide coffee and donuts at the start, etc... will make any difference.
I enjoyed the race for the few years I ran it, but I'm now happily moving on to other things.
Here's an idea: if you want the race to happen, organize it. That's all it takes, mostly.

I'm not really looking to organize, but was curious about possible days.
I vote that those who want to race show up, someone says go we go.
Past threads should be more than enough information for anyone wanting to attempt. MC rules apply, enough said.
Sure this thing could be organized to death, but why? You cheat you suck. You want support, pay for a tour, you want to see what you are made of, show up ready to ride at midnight.

I'm the mega dork that snapped up the domain and volunteered to build the website.
If you guys want to build a site for next years race, let me know and we can figure something out for hosting, etc. I think it would be great to have pics from the previous races.
Changing the subject slightly, if the race goes ahead should there be KTR police watching for people getting help on the down low?
Maybe we could post pictures afterwards with big red X's on the faces of the people who cheated...

F-em! If they want to cheat, let the karma police get them. If anyone finds out about cheating, any public humiliation is welcome in my book. I don't think we should police the course since that is anti everything these type of races are. It was kinda cool that this race got so big, but it also sucked big time.
To all you ktr people. Once again the black hills of south dakota will be represented. I am recovering for a bicycle/ car accident. Shattered femur and tibia/fibula 3 rods 16 pins. But I will be there with bells on and ready to ride
KTR record was recently broken by Dave Harris. New record=12:41
Sometimes the route is easy to follow, other times it is tricky. Maps are invaluable, as well as just simply paying attention, and looking for the signage.
It is pretty apparent where to get water. Going to Westwater will take you off course a bit.
Who are your people? Should your people talk with my people, touch base and do lunch?
