Weather perfection glowed on 441 mountain bikers pursuing the finish line of the 2009 Starlight Mas O Menos Mountain Bike Endurance Fest produced by Desert Sports. Rolling wheels and spectators filled the Chili Appreciation Society International site. 100K pro winners were Bryan Fawley (Austin, TX – team Park Place Lexus) with a time of 04:08:05 and Rebecca Rusch (Ketchum, Idaho – team Specialized/Red Bull), breaking the women's record by six minutes with a time of 04:45:25. Fawley and Rusch also won the New Revolution King and Queen of the Hill, by being first to top the gnarly Tres Cuevas Climb – a 15% grade of adult-size rocks. They also won the Starlight Theatre Fastest Man and Woman Award.

Hula hoopers, cheerleaders and jammin' musicians waved participants around the track including home turf Team Desert Spots. Braving the difficult Shimano Youth Kid's Kup course were 19 youngsters.

Lights curled through the desert on the Nite Fun Ride and record numbers met at Lajitas Resort for the Big Bend Ranch State Park Fun Ride. The event was wowed with the Austin Bike Zoo, who brought their creations for folks to ride including an 80' rattlesnake and an outstanding diaphanous butterfly.

For the third year, this event was listed on the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Ultra Endurance National calendar. The Mas O Menos was part of the 2009 Hill Country Bicycle Works Texas Mountain Bike State Championship Marathon Series and racers could also earn points in the Cycle Progress/Pivot Texas State Mountain Bike Championship Series.

The staff, sponsors, CASI, volunteers, Terlingua Fire & EMS, Big Bend and San Angelo Amateur Radio Clubs did a great job putting on the event. The Starlight team provided fabulous food and the local band, Pinche Gringos, the border groove. The organisers want to thank the community for welcoming the cyclists. Bonfires and festivities will return in 2010.
