Got my brick!

woooohoooo!!  3 of my friends did too.  I'm terrified of that race, but the plan is to do the 100 next year. gulp. 

What did you do to train for it? I'm planning on at least two trips there to do the course.

Sorry dude, but I am calling you out. If you hadn't started this thread I would have let it go, but since you're calling attention to your brick, a brick that I did not earn but very much want to, I feel I must. Call it jealousy, call it sour grapes, call it whatever you want, but having ridden that course and participated in that race I take exception to your claim. According to your race report, you rested after you climbed The Wall. Sure, you followed the minimally enforceable rule, but that's the letter of the law, not the spirit of it. From the Savageman FAQ:

What about once over the top of the Wall? Can I stop and rest there? The climbing continues brutally for the rest of the course. What if I walk later in the course? Is this permitted? 

In a nutshell: 
No - if you want to abide the spirit of the brick, you cannot rest or walk anywhere on the bike course. 
Yes - if you want to abide just the minimally enforceable rules of the brick, you may walk or rest. 

Many people who successfully cleared the Wall have been spotted on camera resting at the top of the Wall or pushing their bikes later in the course on Big Savage Mountain or Killer Miller or Maynardier Ridge. The spirit of the Brick in the Wall is to reward those who have conquered the SavageMan course including the Westernport Wall, and stopping on course to rest or walking your bike on course hardly counts as conquering it. However, precedent has been set that these people also receive bricks so long as they cleared the Wall, and it is impossible to enforce a "no rest, no walk" policy over the entire course, so the hard-and-fast rule is simply to clear the Westernport Wall. 

oh I know those routes well!!! Stumpy/Taylorstown especially the Taylorstown way is tough...I'm thinking Mt. Weather both ways too. Oh and a mountain bike crank on my road bike!

Seriously, congrats!!!

Yes.  Take it back. 

That's awesome, especially considering all of the naysayers who were giving you a hard time about signing up.  I love it when this happens.  Doing something that people tell you you can't is particularly sweet, isn't it?  :)

Brad?!  C'mon man...

When I did it they were very clear that while the gear drop was there as a service to the racers, if you stopped for it you didn't get your brick. They were clear that if you stopped anywhere on the bike course you didn't get your brick. Oh well, things change over time It is Kyle's last year after all. Good on you for making it up the climb.
