We scheduled this run a week prior and had 12 rigs signed up to go and ended up with 7 actually showing up.

The TC 100 http://www.fleetfeetseattle.com/events/teanaway-country-100 is a 100 mile long foot race over difficult terrain. This year was their first year of this event. Last summer, I was contacted by a friend who is in the long-distance running community. She wanted to know if any off-road groups could support their run. I felt strong about supporting them. These are the same people that hike the same areas we like to wheel in. I think it is important that they get to know us. We want them to understand that we care just as much as they do about the outdoors and that we want to see the trails used responsibly. I get the feeling that some of these folks get the wrong idea about the wheeling community when they see damage caused by someone not following the guidelines of tread lightly.
