agreed, great site at cyclingdirt.org. All the year's new bikes on display made me want to whip out the credit card and stimulate this economy. 100+ starters in the elite race showed that XC MTB isn't dead in the USA!
definitely an awesome race, I really wish cycling.tv had continued with the daily highlights!! A Bit of bad luck for the Specialized guys, but it made for great stage racing drama.
Anyone know where we can watch video of 2009 Cape Epic? Cycling.tv used to have great daily recaps, but I have not found any hint of online video access this year. Awesome race, worth watching for sure for endurance mountain bike fans.
