Red Bull Last Man Standing


Let me start by saying that it's so much better being there and seeing it in person. You get to experience the sounds, smells, and heights of the impossible climbs that these technicians of the sport are able to conquer. And, there is something very gratifying about cheering for a rider struggling to get up a nasty hill, especially when you can see that the roar from the crowd is giving him (or her) the extra drive they need to succeed. I said "or her" because Maria Forsberg, the WORKS Women's Champion, finished 84th out of the 100 competitors.
This event is one that I definitely recommend attending. The group that I went with had an amazing time. In future posts I'll include pictures and commentary on the event.
