2010 Test of Endurance

The 2010 Test of Endurance was another classic race put on by Mudslinger Events.  Going into the morning of the race the course conditions were near perfect.  A half hour into the race, Mother Nature decided to water her yard and make the sweet single track slick as snot.  It didn't matter whether you were walking or riding, you were going to slip and fall.  Nonetheless, the weather wasn't going to hamper a great race or any of the fun. 

This year seemed to be a special year.  It wasn't one thing that made it special but many.  I believe this year had the largest turn out; also the best turn out of pro riders, both young and old; additionally there was a large amount of out-of-state riders.  The TOE was also part of the Kenda CUP.  Lastly, a person is alive today because of the race.  One of the locals had a fire and a heart attack and due to the quick thinking and observation skills of one of the people attending the race, aid was immediately brought to the scene to help.  As luck would have it, that person was also an EMT.  Our prayers go out to that resident for a full and speedy recovery.

That all being said our photos have been posted.  Thanks to Mudslinger Events and Instaprint for the sponsorship.  Their generosity means that you get the medium resolution images free to use.  Just click on the 'download original' link at the bottom right hand corner of each photo.
