Hey..is there a place in Ancaster where a man could buy some golden frothy BEvERages? Something to whet the whistle after the race if you will?

DOH!!! See, if you had over 18000 posts, I would not have made that mistake. You've only got 17 thousand and change.
Apologies.

I'll bring some in case you are done sooo fast that the store isn't open yet you can help yourself

So here is a shot of the finished product. Now, the section in the middle looks plain, but it is a shadow box. As I see it, to make it truly 'Sulphur Springs', the shadow box can be filled with dirt, rocks and sticks from the actual trail. Should spice it up a bit. Also, it was looking a little too nice, so I glued an ugly old shoe on top, just to keep it honest.
So now you know what you're competing for.
PS:I would have put an engraving on it, but apparently you need to give 2-3 days notice in Barrie.

Not that you need to worry about that, cause you ain't (yeah, I said ain't) bringin' it home ....but the base is 7" x 9", and its about 9-10" high.

AWESOME B!

But.. does the shoe stank? I mean a really, really good trail stank.

[VeloCarrie]

You also need to add a trail sacrifice into the box. An offering to the trail gods & goddesses for safe passage.

Oh no...you can't just walk willy-nilly into this shallonge....there is a pre-requisite.

You must first chuck sh#t at another member of the shallonge....only then can you be entered.

Apology accepted.

Anyone twittering or posting early/final race results from Maniacs and/or race leaders??

last year I texted updates to Doonst & he updated on RM. Is there anyone willing to pass their cell # along to me and I can do the same this year.

We're leaving London within the hour. So if you are interested PM me now or catch me at Sulphur to coordinate.

I think it'll be a while to get proper results. The course was very lackadaisically marked, so the entire lead pack of the 50 mile went badly off course, the second and third place 25Kers clearly didn't run 25K (splits are way out of whack)... A few others in my finishing group ran a couple extra kilometres (as did I). Not good.

We saw bgroot halfway through his 50 miler. He looked very strong! I saw naturegirl while I was on my offcourse promenade. She looked good (it would have been about 2.5hrs into her race.)

There is a winner

[Doonst]

Thanks Wes! I must point out that the second picture is from before the race. Ron was still running his ultra-thing when we left, plus there were less smiles at the finish!

Captions please! I don't know all the faces. :)
