What an awesome event RAIN 2010 was. Hats off to all who participated, organised, volunteered – the event was superb. Had the pleasure of riding with some of this years DeCycles riders too – I asked them how this compared to some of their days in the Pacific Mountains this year and they said it was EASY! If I had enough breath at the time I would have laughed. Shane snapped a rear wheel spoke before the 2nd stop – we thought we had it covered – we had a spare wheel right? Wrong. Eugene's spare was campy, Shane rides shimano. But Eugene had everything we (he) needed to swap the rear cassettes over and we were back in business in about an hour.
