Geoff Roes handily won the Santa Barbara Endurance Race 100 miler over the weekend, in a swift time of 16:32 (race site). Because of the wet spring, the Forest Service pulled permits for the race in the weeks leading up to the start, causing race directors to reroute the original course, which was to have 36,000 feet of climbing, largely over singletrack. The revised course took place largely on dirt roads and Jeep trail but still had hefty amounts of climbing and whipping winds.
