what's the deal with Blackstar?

@mtnbikej @kioti Speaking of SJ some day that trail / the loop needs to get brushed again. I am hired (free) help for that. There was a time when Warriors would brush that, I know cause I was there. Between chiquito and Cocktail is pretty bad.

Unfortunately I don't know what they are up to. I don't know what trail works are in the plans, but SJ is usually not one of them.

Yeah SJ hasn't been done in a long time, agree not a WS regular, maybe at some point coming spring we can organize a Grass Roots..

I did Skinsuit a few months ago, super rutted and loose. I wouldn't take anyone up there I didn't think was very advanced, as in Expert Enduro racer. Not saying people can't do it, I just wouldn't want to feel responsible for people not having fun, or worse, having a miserable time because I dragged them out.

Just opened Strava and saw a friend ran a race on San Juan, Los Pinos, Main Divide, etc.

31 miles, 7300' climbing, 5.5 hours...on foot!

Sure...yea...but can he/she put down a 50-piece McNugget in one sitting?

I ate 20 tacos from Del Taco once. It was on taco Tuesday back when they were $.99 for 3. My roommate dared me and I was bologna'd so he bought 21 tacos and ate one while I ate the other 20. I was fine until the next morning when I was sweating while walking to my car and barfed in the driveway. Still ate 20 tacos though so I didn't mind.

Have you seen how ultra runners eat?

In his case, no. He's vegan. But I bet he could down 50 piece of tofu!

I'm not at all surprised that a good ultra-marathoner can run that route faster than a mtber can bike it.

No 30 lb. (13.6 kg.?) weight penalty on the climbs is a plus, and the steeper it gets, the more of an advantage to the runner.

Big penalty downhill though. Downhill running is rough on the body, really eats up a lot of energy.

Easy to sprain an ankle, too. No OTB's, tho!

You're never seen how (un)graceful I am!

Isn't running downhill how we came up with expression "a$$ over elbows?"

AOE!

@bvader, I'd recommend checking with the guys who built that bridge on the lollipop loop. (I think it was the San Diego Mountain Bike Association.) They might be up for it. And if they can do it w/o gas-powered equipment, they can do it anytime. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
