To celebrate mountain biking in the Olympics, Team Wrong Way decided to have our very own olympics. It was similar to the decathlon, but only eight grueling events. From the "No Way - Way!" Hillclimb, to the Energizer Bunny Hop, to the "Not Hans Rey" Trackstand, all in attendance had a great time. It was a good way to polish up some skills that are critical in mountain biking.

The battle was for the prestigious Wrong Way Medals (silver medal pictured)
The competition was so ferocious, much blood was lost
