Two friends of mine rode Tevis this year and here's what they had
to report: mostly single-track trail, no place to pass. If you
are in the back of the pack, that's where you stay with little
hope of moving ahead. Little opportunity to move out at a nice
working trot and you're eating dust the whole way. From what I
get out of this is that a small percentage of riders go to win;
the vast majority go to say they rode the Tevis.

Can I get another perspective on this? I'm planning on riding
Tevis is '99, but should I not bother unless I have a front
runner? Moving in the back of the pack is no guarantee that
you will finish in time, basically through no fault of your
own, simply by default.

What's the story?
