Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it. – FC

Also, this was the first time that I’d heard anything about lottery odds for the MTB race. Ken guessed 7,000 to 10,000 entries each year.

Last year, there were 1445 people who crossed the finish line in 13 hours or less. No idea how many people DNFed or were pulled–another 10%?

Let’s assume 1600 starters. Further, let’s assume that 400 of these get in by virtue of qualification, Camp of Champions, fundraising, volunteering (I volunteered in 2014, getting in in 2015 after 4-5 years of being shut out in the lottery), or “grandfathering” (having finished 10+ times, or whatever the magic number is).

That gives 1,200 lottery riders out of what I’ll guess was 8,400 lottery entrants to make the math simple. One in seven lottery odds.

I’m curious to know if anyone has a more informed number.

I too would like to apply my balance to the women’s specific kit!!! :) :) :) I haven’t seen or heard anything since you announced that the FLS kits weren’t going to be coming out. No worries, I know you’ve been busy so I just figured that once you had some time, I’d hear something.

I REALLY WANT one of these kits. Blue is my fav color! :)

How do we apply a previous balance to an order for this kit? Help! :)

I appreciate the weighting of the Clydesdale graphic AWAY from the midsection. This is very, very important.

Fatty — while you are limited in your ability to apply your posing rules (no one to hide behind…no one bigger than yourself, etc…), you have done an admirable job.
