Thanks to all supports.  Club Fat Ass team raised about $1,300 out of the $110,000 raised during the entire event.

I will be sending this off to all participants soon so you can proof read this for me...

Elk Beaver letter to all participants.

In an effort to make this year's Elk Beaver Ultras run even more smoothly than in the past and to offer runners the best experience possible, please note the following guidelines:

As I sit hear listening to the rain outside, wondering what will it be like tomorrow? I ran the 10k loop of the Hop yesterday and found that there is still lots of snow in sections, mud, and some very large puddles. Overall the course is runable, by tomorrow though, expect to get wet and muddy, but what else would you want from a trail run, isn't there points for getting the dirtiest.  See you at the  Spring Bunny Hop, I be the dirty one.

Only 4 day to go until Cyclebetes 24 hour spin-a-ton.  

What:  A 50K run on the Baden Powell Trail between Deep Cove and Cleveland Dam.  Since this is a Fat Ass event you may, of course, do whatever distance like.
