Awesome race, awesome participation, and awesome fundraising. My favorites: -"I was awe inspiring." -The fact that Tommy D can unhinge his jaw. Multi-talented. -Dave Towle doing the announcing...perfect voice for that race. -The horrified looks as Fatty showed off the winning stomach. Great stuff. Simply awesome! Awesome race, awesome participation, and awesome fundraising.

My favorites:
-”I was awe inspiring.”
-The fact that Tommy D can unhinge his jaw. Multi-talented.
-Dave Towle doing the announcing…perfect voice for that race.
-The horrified looks as Fatty showed off the winning stomach.

Great stuff.

Mostly for my twins, but the one that McDreamy used may or may not be put into a shrine. Super proud of you, again. Amazing what my bro can do.

I was honestly moving too fast to let any of this sink in and now I sit amazed that a couple of phone calls to good people proliferated into a singularly absurd (and charitable) 25 minutes. Thanks for all your help. There's a reason I call you every year and it's not because you help us raise a ton of money (though that's nice, no doubt). You're part of the spirit and fabric of the GranFondo and, as long as it's up to me, you'll have a home here. And all it took was one smart ass "open letter to Levi on the occasion of his first mountain bike race" to get this whole thing started. I'm very glad for it and for you. Again, my thanks, both professionally and personally. I'm glad to know you. What the hell have we done?

BUT I have never read a more entertaining, hysterical, fact-filled, picture-augmented race report that was just so much fun to read, re-read and then forward to everyone I could think of. The event was obviously a riot, you guys raised tons of money for good projects, and the whole thing just looked like so much fun. Thanks for putting on such a fun event and giving us such a great report. I cannot wait for next year. You are an amazing writer! <em>This is the best comment I have ever received. - FC</em> Over the years, I have read many, many race reports about Rebecca’s competitions…adventure racing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting and even outrigger canoe paddling.

She says he "cut the course" she also says "very cute". I'll wait for the decision of the Court of Arbitration of Sport shold Levi decide to go there.
