I ran into a man writing parking tickets the other day around 16th & Spruce and it baffled me. The majority of parking spaces downtown are nearly impossible to drive in/out of without a very high-clearance vehicle and AWD/4X4. Many people have been rocking/pushing their cars out of the plowed-into & unmaintained spots all week, and city employees are going around writing tickets for unpaid slips of paper?! If it takes 3 people pushing, gunning your clutch, and grinding your undercarriage to crash into and out of a parking space then there should be absolutely zero charge or penalty.

The center median has yellow 'reflectors' that aren't visible at night. Combine that with the headlights from the oncoming lanes and it's nearly impossible to see where you are on the road. The only way for me to tell where I am in the left lane is to keep my eyes on the center white line and hope I don't scrape my car on the concrete divider. Additionally, some of the lane shifts divert your car directly through long potholes/gashes in the road. Don't the people from Ames Construction drive along this stretch of highway themselves and realize how piss-poor their staging has been? Tag that whole scene with reflectors and make it safer for all drivers.

I'm out riding for exercise. A stop sign is a great moment to come to a complete stop, balance for a second or more, then sprint back up to speed.

That being said, I am really rooting for Eric Lee to do well and would not be surprised given his Nolan's performance - *hopefully* predicting a top 5 result.

Due to less available sunlight, mountain biking is more difficult by headlamp - not to mention you get 'more bang for your buck' while running, in less time. The trails are quieter and less populated, what once was a technical rocky trail has been buffed out into a smooth strip, and the sunrises are magical with a fresh coating of snow. The slippery nature of the ground forces you to run lighter and more agile, greatly improving form. Unlike the heat of the summer you can always just add another layer. Running along an untracked trail with 3-4 inches of soft fluffy snow brushing against your ankles is an entirely different experience.

Yes, if 35 apply they are all accepted while others have odds that aren't necessarily in their favor. I sympathize with the majority of your comment, but this really stood out: "... I enjoy the event as a follower of the sport but I would never contribute to the race in any manner until they become more reasonable. If it was something I wanted to take part, you better believe I would be writing letters to the BLM and Forest service and encouraging others to do so as well. I work with those agencies and they have very strong opinions about events occurring on public land."

Per the Hardrock Qualifying Standards website: "Because of timing, the 2013 LT100 will still be accepted as a qualifier for the 2014 HR. LT100 finishes will not be accepted as qualifiers for the 2015 HRH and beyond."

They've earned the right to be awarded a spot each year that they apply for one, no matter how unfair that seems to the entitled newcomer.
