3 of us are from San Diego, the other one from Orange County.  We're here for fun and to get in some great riding, and, as a tribute to Mike Vihon.  Not expecting to win anything, but you never know.  This is our first team race together, but we've all done at least one 24 hour race before, in either Tucson, Moab, or both.  We're real psyched that Grannygear has come to San Diego.  Long live long rides.  Hopefully somebody has a big party afterwards.  We'll all be ready for a few beers on Sunday, and perhaps even some tequila.
