Unique info or story:  I met my boyfriend in 2007 when he came over from Australia (where he is from) to race a series of mountain bike races in California and Colorado.  The weekend after we met, he was racing at Angel Fire and I decided to tag along.  But I’m not very good a simply spectating, so I brought my mountain bike, entered my first mountain bike race, managed to crash only once and won.  I still have the scars…but I got the guy.
