Nasty rain and the pit crew (me) fell down on her job but the guys did not ...
They won 3rd place in the Sportsman class and most of that was done on the "B" loop
I will leave it to the guys to tell their story as they are the real Heroes of this one!!
Good on ya guys CONGRATULATIONS to you all. :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Scott, Kelly, Mark, John (behind Mark), Tom and Mitchell missing pics of Neil and Ted
Thanks also to Lori (Neil's wife) who brought her bike like me but did not get a chance to ride toooooooooooooooo muddy for us.but helped a lot.
Judy and Jake who brought John and theToybox.
Judy rode when it was not raining but then it downpoured...I think Judy did about6 or soloops too but not sure why we didn't count these... ha ha
It didn't rain one iota on Friday night stars were out and all...then we awoke to the rain on Sat morning and it rained off and on until the afternoon. We had sunshine:ss: for a bit,but it was not to be for long :mad3:...the downpour began again and it didn't let up for hours...I think it may have been about 3 or 4 AM when it finally stopped. Sunday dried up of course it was near the end then.

Sat morning, Neil and John checking the bike out pre ride.
The 10 footmovie screen for the viewing of the Long Way Round...this is roughing it!!
Doesn't everyone have this?
The Boot Drier. This worked pretty slick.
Sunday morning almost done.
The set up...note even in modern times we circle the wagons!
Part of the "A" loop...this was not for our dualsport bikes a bit too gnarly!:shock:
Same "A" loop called the Royal Throne
Something broke hitting something..ooopps.
How many people does it take to change a light bulb? One to do the changing and the other 4 to give support like you're doing it wrong and this doesn't go here or does it?
Just put that hammer there...no ooooooowwwww Master Mechanics at work.
And this is the 3rd place winning team...at least part of it. Ted, Kelly Scott, & Mitchell. Accepting the trophy for Team DualsportBC ..(I don't think they ever came up with a team name)
And don't forget ...this was called the Fraser Valley
Dirt Rider 24 hour dirtbike marathon. The runs were Not particularly made for our bikes. See Tom's video for the twists and turns and this was the "B" loop that our team went on for the most part.
