Coolest 24 Hours 2009 Photos and Race Report by Karen Kefauver

My mountain bike relay race with Team Go Go Go Girls in Northern California (May 2-3) could have been called "The Wettest Race on Earth," rather than the Coolest 24 Hour Race. Held in a mountain town east of Sacramento named Cool, the 4th annual event was a benefit for cancer research and survivors. I blogged about my wet and wild adventures on my Travel Journal: http://karenkefauver.blogspot.com/
As a part of a 4-woman relay team, Go Go Girlz, I raced my first lap, 12 very hilly miles in thick, sloppy mud in the late afternoon. My second and final lap of the race was at 1:30 a.m.
