We want everyone to show up and to race. MTB? absolutely, Road bike, unicycle? Why not, been there, seen that. The one cardinal rule for mountain bikes on the course is to leave the bar-ends at home. They are illegal in cross and could leave a pretty severe mark in a crash. And if you wear a camelbak, you probably will get heckled but it's only because we love you.

I don't know too much about the 'cross culture, so I was wondering if the mountainbikers catch any grief from those racing more traditional "road" bikes with drops?

Keep up the good work on the site, and it was hilarious when you and Jim were talking on the mic during the Men's 4 race. See you in September. Bill, it was awesome to see you yesterday.
