How much single track is there? Elevation?
I've done Scipio a few times and Stillwater. Also have rode all the good stuff at Talimena. Does it compare to any of those? Due to A-Hole politicians and thieves stealing my wallet out my truck Thurs night, I haven't had much time to dial in my 300. Didn't come to a comfortable setting with suspension after only an hour on Friday. Need more time. Considering racing the WR if there isn't a ton of single track at Draper. Probably gonna bring both bikes.

i imagine that it will be quite a bit slower than stillwater and much more single track. that is just specualtion from what iv heard its a pretty good possibility. and if we keep getting a little moisture the dirt will be perfect.

Weather looks good too. I'm anxious to get out and ride. I haven't rode since Sept 21, and that was the first time on the 300. Actually I have only rode 3 times this entire year. So I'm pretty jacked up for some long single track sections and get a nice flow going.
I'm going to just ride the 300. Treat the race as a 70 mile set up session before the first SERA Enduro. There is no points for me and I'm fat. So I'm gonna focus on getting it dialed in. I made a lot of changes to the bike after that 1hr on Friday, so I hope to have it close before I start. After 70 Miles, of breaking in and fine tuning, it should be pretty dialed.

Draper can get a little rough with braking bumps and acceleration bumps and can get a little washed out and develop some fairly deep water holes. The green trail often has a lot of sandy whoops. We got a good deal of rain last night, but if the weather holds and we don't get much more rain this week, soil conditions will probably be primo for the race with a few remaining red water holes. |

Just letting everyone know, there is a 50% chance of rain on Friday for the OKC area. A little rain won't hurt, but as mentioned, heavy reainfall will make for very slick conditions. I rode there about a month ago after a heavy rain. We had my son with us and he was going sideways down the trails most of the time. (He's 8 and riding a honda crf70)

How much did it rain? It looked like most of the rain was light? Like less than a 1/10th of rainfall? Should be awesome Sunday. I'm leaving at 4 am.

Rain has stopped, no idea how much they got though. I pulled in about 6PM, cold and clear here now with a wind blowing as well. I pulled the dually and camper across the field and never felt so much as a squoosh. Can't speak for the trail, haven't been there yet.
