amateur: n. 1. a person who engages in some art, science, sport, etc. for the pure pleasure of it rather than for money. 2. a person who does something without professional skill...derived from the french word "amare" which means "to love."
That's me...Even though I am without professional skill...far from it; I love adventure, I love climbing, I love a good Hard-core Stout, I LOVE DULUTH, MN and I am obsessed with cycling & no one pays me so much as a penny! I am the consummate Amateur...
The course description sounds like the Cheq Fat Tire only a little longer and with some singletrack at the end. With an attempt at such a large field you would need it to be this way. I will be passing.
I want to support local guyz doing longer local events...My problem with it is that they shave recklessly cheduled it on the same day as two GREAT local races...the Salsa 24 @ Afton and the WEMS @ LaCrosse!!! I emailed them to push the case for changing the date as I would be interested in doing it...but so far I have fallen upon deaf hears:( Charlie
