The Most Horrible Thing Ever
In February, bikers attempted The Most Horrible Thing Ever, widely believed to be the hardest mountain bike race in the region. The race calls for over 36 straight hours of pedaling in six stages through North Carolina’s Pisgah National Forest. For the second year in a row, no one was able to complete all six stages. Here’s a rundown of the carnage.

29: Bikers who started the race.
0: Bikers able to finish all six stages.
5: Bikers who finished 5 stages.
175: Miles the first place biker (Dave Anderson, Raleigh, N.C.) pedaled and hiked to win the race.
21,500: Feet of elevation that Anderson climbed during the race.
37.5: Number of hours Anderson was on the course.
4: Hours it took before the first set of bikers quit.
11: Hours it took one team to finish the first stage.
5: Gallons of veggie chili eaten by competitors.
