The Darkhorse 40Hours in Car: 7.5 (too many)
Sleep: 4 Hours (too noisy, you damn crickets)
Temperature: Felt like 100° (too hot)
Gear: 34 X 17 (too high)
Tires: 29-3s at 32 Psi. (again, too high)
Time: 3:31-ish (10 minutes too long, if you wanted to win a Niner Fork)
Result: 2nd Single Speed (i.e., too slow to get the Niner fork)
Real Result: A whole lot of fun and suffering (too many days until DH40 2010)
Report is pending, I have to wait for the fluid surrounding my brain to cool down from a rolling boil before I can even begin to piece it all together.

34x17 is almost too high for me on the road!
Great to see you Tom. Really hard day out on the trails.
Great job even though 1st was the goal.
What am I gonna do without my fjork?
Loser.
dicky if you're nice maybe you can get it from me instead! what color do you want so I maximize my return?
Sean,
Put it on your Selma.
You know you want to...
If Sean hadn't mopped the floor with me...correction, I never even saw Sean, so how could he have used me as a mop if he never saw me? A mop and its user most have visual contact before any mopping can commence.
If Sean hadn't called in to janitorial services from abroad and had all his guys take turns using me as a mop (that's better) then I would have won the fork, had it painted pink, then sent it around the world so that people could take pictures of it posed in front of prominent landmarks with a little red conical hat perched atop its steerer, sending photo-postcards to Dicky's address to torment him.
Ya see, the 45mm offset would have made the Superfly handle like a beach cruiser anyway.
