Hey peeps! I went down to do a little course recon this past week and what I found was an amazing course. I did it in 3 days as a little recovery ride after the Darkhorse 40 :drooling:. Each day was a different segment of the course and each day it was amazing riding. The climbs were solid and the singletrack was fun. The wildlife was beautiful as well. Many hawks were seen as well as a nice black bear was witnessed on the course. It's going to take some good legs to pump out this course quickly for sure. As a matter of fact on day 2 I was hating myself as one of the climbs was tearing me apart. I was dizzy and had to stop a few times just to continue on(Probably an after effect of not letting my body recover properly). Expect lots of gravel ups, ups and more ups, some steep singletrack climbs, some sweet singletrack downs, good fireroads and a couple nice sections of paved roads. It's going to be one solid day and I'm still sticking with my goal of breaking the 10 hour mark although as I've just seen, it's gonna be one of the hardest tests yet. It's gonna be amazing regardless...
