Watched most of the guys events, but didn't see them all. And missed the gals. Are there any vids out there...looked but couldn't find them?

Thanks to the OP I made it a point to at least catch the highlights of this event. What a brutal course but it was fun to watch...probably even sweeter if you were there at Staples. Lots of crazy action...they looked mortal. Like previous posts....those poor women. When I saw the men struggling I was looking forward to seeing how the women would handle. That said, I was man enough to realize the women were so much better than I'll ever be...yet they struggled mightily. Very entertaining and major props to those riders.

As the modern world become smaller and smaller i'm afraid we are going to see more and more of our beloved sports become smaller in scope and relegated to indoors.

Looks like the women should have been using smaller bikes. They looked like they were struggling with the height and weight of the bikes.

Reminds me of back in the day a guy my dad used to know who hunted up in the dirty black forests of vermont. He was able to get way back up in there where the best hunting was by riding a Zuki 125 4 wheeler where everyone else on the big "modern" ATV's just couldn't fit or muscle the machines over the obstacles.
