I walked that track after the race. There was a square edged rock chute that I had to turn around to "climb" down. Parts of that track was the hardest I've even been on.

Good old narrow bars. When I raced there I ended up with 60 psi in my tires to avoid flats. No joke. Hey Vital, can we get Telluride next? Is there even any good footage of that race?
