Singlespeed World Championship 2008-IN or OUT?

Did you get a golden ticket?
We want to hear from those that got in, and those that did not! What are your thoughts in the way this went down?

Your comments/suggestions will only improve this race when it comes back to California someday! (over 800 people tried to register)

Dawn has won a golden ticket! For me this is as sweet as it gets! So sweet it makes my teeth hurt. After being off my bike to have 3 children, in the short time of 4 years....and a BIG birthday this year.
Some sicko (probably my Dad) up above has put my name on a spot to go torture myself this August. And torture myself I will. I may not be as young as I was, or as fit, but I still remember how to suffer, and the joy of making others suffer around me. My favorite speed since 1999, one cog!
I can still remember the SSWC in Downieville like it was yesterday! The only difference this time is that my husband-Dan did not get in...although we are working on that. I hope to see some faces from the past there.

One Cog-One God!
