Finally Loaded up! see you there

How did the race go for everyone. I just found out about this race. I've got a bunch of buddies that want to give it a go next year. I was just wondering if it is possible to run the race as a team by switching riders or is it just a single racer kind of deal? There's not much info on the website.

It's every man for himself. Haven't heard from pscook...one rider took a splill, during the pre-race poker r(run, race). pscook & his nephew were riding with him, so he got out OK.

It was a great weekend, too much dust on Saturday-but that's normal. and rain sunday-which I think Is better than not seeing in the heavy dust.

I only did Ironman- 3 laps though. I make sure to get my ridings worth[$} in. I saw about 6 other late model gassers and, some earlier models. Was bummed I couldn't find Stujohnson, I saw him at rest area on the way, but could not find.
It Was a great way to get the feel for my bike.

I survived the poker run on Saturday and the race on Sunday. I only did one lap of the race, but I could have run both laps. I did the lap in 2.5 hours, so not too terrible of a time. My nephew got lapped and houred out, he was 45 minutes behind me. Big bottleneck at a box canyon was my deciding factor to not continue, I didn't want to have to push my bike up that groove, especially after several thousand rear wheels were spinning it into dust.

I'll have some video later as I get time to edit out the boring parts.

Oh, one small blister on the left hand, and moderately sore. Not too bad considering I saw much, much worse on the course.

2-man teams have to use the same bike, one lap per person. 15 and under and 50 and older can opt for the 50 mile (1 lap), as can women.

Yup. Making plans with friends now. I'll post up when we get everything solidified. Leaving Friday AM, coming home Sunday PM. Goal is two laps this year and not be such a sissy about my blisters.
