I am very interested in this event and look forward to hearing more about it. Hopefully this falls during a lull in our local race series.

Looks like about a 19.5 hour Trek from my place.

Dale covington and some of the UHE folks have been planning FR4 in August or September of this year, also in Gunnison. I asked if we could tag along and they agreed.
So, if everything goes as planned, Chuck, Rod and I will come out with a couple of demo bikes and our bikes (we're gonna ride this time!) and we will have a combined FR4/GGOR organized ride in the Gunnison, CO area.
Stay tuned more details!
Clay
Sounds great...I wonder if i'll have my new bike by then
