Of course, but MUST FOCUS on the current Epic Rides race. 60 miles of the White Mountains this weekend on the SS. :bike_rider:

Then I'm all about the 24HOP!!

I've always wanted to do this one along with Dawn to Dusk.

I've always wanted to do this one along with Dawn to Dusk.

Dawn to Dusk is a fun ride, but the course makes me batty after a few laps. It's pretty flat, not technical, and by the time you ride those water bars for the Xth time, you want to swerve into the cactus.

Dawn to Dust is a great event. I'll be there again this year. Old Pueblo is on another level entirely. That's not an event. That's a full blown mountain bike circus complete with a big top. You should go.

Great riding team OJ and everyone else.
Great riding Christophe and Steve! You solo nut jobs! I shall now call you sixth place Steve.

Travis, sounds like you had the most epic lap. So gnarly! Hope you're feeling better!

After I came by came drinking my breakfast beer we had a team member wuss out so I mounted back up and did one more lap with a gut full of beer and tri-tip. I've never earned an hour and fourteen minutes so hard.

Good job to all who showed up and dealt with the not so nice weather. It was windy and cold Friday, then really windy, cold, and rainy on Saturday.
I left Saturday shortly before Scott came back from his lap. As I was leaving the rain came in just in time for Travis to start his lap:Wow1:
