Yes I saw that but it looks a bit uninspiring - just a huge 6000 foot climb with hike a bike sections and back down again. Also a bit more mileage than I'm planning. Definitely a butt kicker though!

It is mostly chunky fireroad... Except for the 3+ miles of rock gardens on the way back. And you actually climb both ways... Which was a surprise to me the first time. :sick:

Interesting. Ok maybe I might consider it then. If there's no takers on here in the next day or so then I might just sign up.

Thanks @Mikie! Sorry to hear that - hope you're OK and all in one piece. I had 6 weeks off for the same thing recently so I know know tough / boring is! Hope to see you out there again soon.

I heard man!
Heard it was a rough one too!
I took a tumble and fractured a bone in my hand. No biggie...
See the doc this coming Wednesday for a re-eval...
 
OK so looks like there aren't too many takers for this one. Just registered for the Pioneertown 50 ride (thanks @Faust29 for the info). See you guys there!
