The Most Insane Start in Mountain Bike Racing

If you have never seen the start of the 24 Hours of Moab....it is insanity. This pic was taken about midway through the pack on lap one. This short but steep off camber rock face absolutely bottle knecked the pack as the stronger riders off the front were able to escape the crowd and power up this short techy section and be gone. This continuos snake of riders lasted for nearly 5 minutes. It was a sight to see and everyone who reads this blog knows at least one person in this mass of riders....
