I wonder if he's still on testosterone...

I think Dave Wiens has won it like 3-4 years in a row and just keeps getting faster. That guy's nuts.

EDIT: I don't think anyone buy Wiens has finished in under 7:15, so considering this his Floyd's first year doing it, well, I bet Wiens was a little concerned that Floyd was there the whole way. GO FLOYD!

wow, Floyd got jacked up!

Ya, he ate it for sure, pic was at bottom of the half way point climb. My observations of Floyd.... Dave won, hung out in the shade, gave interviews, signed autographs, and took pics with kids and fans. Floyd finished, went over to the water cooler, people were told to stand back, he drank some water and promptly rode off without a word to anyone. Even though he had some road rash to tend to, it seemed kinda lame imho.

and forgot to add, more pics here (http://flickr.com/photos/rky_mtn_srfr/sets/72157601447800972/)

Wiens? Kloser? Reeves? For a moment I thought I was looking at results from '94 or something. Cool to see some aging icons still kicking ass in one way or another.
