So the ArcVelo Corporate Team – aka Three Men and a Little Lady – may have ruffled some feathers at 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo…sorry, it was an honest mistake.  The team – composed of myself (aka Little Lady), Kyle, Jason (a first time mtb racer and Kyle’s little bro), and Dan (the team sponsor) – took 5th place in the 4-men’s (male, man, hombre, what have you) open category.  Well, as some of you may know, I don’t quite cut it as a man (except when I dressed up like Kyle for Halloween).  Anyways, it doesn’t specifically say anywhere in the race rules that you can’t have a woman race in the men’s category – although it would be less acceptable to have a man race on a 4-woman’s team, right?  I don’t know; I don’t have all the answers, but all I have to say is that when we stepped on that podium, I think some people were not too happy…I wouldn’t be happy to get chicked either. 

Well, whatever, I hope we didn’t ruffle any feathers too badly, and next year we’ll register in a 5-person co-ed team.  Nonetheless, the race was a blast.  Kyle whipped out some super fast laps, while our man Dan won the run, and Jason – who was doing his first mountain bike race ever – kicked some ass.  Here ye go with an essay in pictures.  Also, props to everyone who did that race!  You know who you are, and you rock.
