This weekend, I was privileged to document the third annual "Light on PTSD" 24 bicycle relay. This event is intended to raise funds and awareness for and about PTSD and other mental health issues. The event was conducted on a local motorsport cicuit with a 2.3km (1.4 mile) track and a 34m (111') elevation change. Teams had to keep one person on the track at continuously over a 24 hour period. In that 24 hours there was bright sun, wind, rain, as well as thunder & lightning. Everyone survived and there were no accidents... all in all, a pretty cool way to spend a couple of days!

It rained hard for most of the night, but despite that, one team of three pulled off a continuous twelve hour ride!!
