Enchilada Enduro

[joetron]

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!!

Who's in?

I sure do have some nerves about this race. It's gonna be healthy 2hrs of fun and pain. Gotta run it smooth!

[toast2266]

wish I was. Got in, but have a broken wrist. lame.

[Danno]

2hours? For the whole enchilada? Motherfuck I'm slow.

[Hott Butt Mud]

I think I'm going to be a spectator. Good luck to anyone who is racing.

A few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer.

-What time do you think the start will be over? We want to watch a bit of the racers then ride the Whole E.
-Any suggestions on prime viewing areas? Are racers going to be going through The Notch?

[brettf]

Strava-tised. I realized after I nearly exploded my lungs on a front range climb and then saw that somebody had climbed a section of trail at THREE times the speed as me... that I am and always will be at the back of the pack.

Doesn't make it any less fun!

Here's what I just pulled off an email from yesterday:

" The Pro Men will start in a mass start by category promptly at 8:30 a.m. The will ride to the top of Burro Pass untimed and then start from the top of Burro Pass in individual time trial by 30 sec intervals. The Pro Women will be the next category to be released by mass start. Their start time is TBD based on the number of Pro Men to get through the start. Amateur Men and Amateur Women will follow in their respective categories. All individuals will be released in 30 sec intervals.

The Whole Enchilada will be timed from the top of Burro Pass to the first set of ropes and wooden pillars you come to, about 1/2 mile above where the singletrack starts. After you cross the finish line, you will ride the rest of the Porcupine Rim singletrack down to the river. This is the only way out. Buses and shuttles will be available for participants back to the Archway Inn. Spectators may take the shuttle out and back from the race finish as well, departing from the Aarchway Inn at 9:30 a.m."

So I'd imagine everybody will be off of the top of Geyser by 10ish? That may be a touch optimistic, hard to say.

The course is going through the Snotch. That would probably be a pretty good spot to watch.

Brett! Stoked to see you buddy! If possible, could you bring me a 12er of Dales and a 4pack of Gubna? I'm going through withdrawl.

[Roxtar]

Didn't it fill up in, like, an hour?

I'll be there. Racing amateur again and just gonna enjoy an epic ride i've never done all the way from burro pass. The leaves should be awesome up top!

[beaterdit]

wish I was. Got in, but have a broken wrist. lame.

Uhhh, so what did you do with your registration?

[simple]

Btw flowton...you think you are nervous? Last time i rode in Moab i got a flight for life heli ride to gj with a ruptured spleen. I have learned to respect moab after that experience.

[brettf]

I think it was like 5 minutes. Crazy!

Should be rad! The the LaSalles have some of the biggest (around) Aspen trees that I've ever seen. I love it up there!

Across state lines? I would never!

Sure thing!

Hey i want some deviant!

. Brett what happened to the bike in Durango?

[brettf]

^^ flatted out of the race right at the start of the descent. First flat of the entire season! Sucks, but that's racing I guess. Tore up the tire something fierce....

[simple]

Oh thats right you told me that at ska. Hope you have a clean run in Moab!

[Particle]

I got in, but our nanny fell through and all backups have since fallen through. So, not looking good for me. I'll update here if I get lucky and can make it down...

[joetron]

Anybody driving down from SLC on thursday or friday?

I've got a lift back up on sunday.

[toast2266]

Uhhh, so what did you do with your registration?

I was on the waiting list so I'm assuming they just rolled on down the list to the next available entrant.

[rideit]

Excellent. Shits gonna be prime...at least for practice shuttles on Friday. Hope I can make it down for that.

Rain / snow would only help with Burro. I rode it two weeks ago and it was as blown out /dry as I've ever seen it, almost too much. There has been a few storms lately, these will only help. This weekend is going to be good weather, should be a good time. I have a feeling I will be one of the last guys to go (as usual), hope that means I get a lot of opportunity to pass. Being hurt sucks...

I was told we were riding the Notch, not the Snotch. Did you get that from the event organizer? Just wondering.

[Particle]

just hook the Burly up to the Mojo.

...AND... I think... I'm in. Tentative weekend sitter on the hook! Sick.


Now, is anyone interested in running a Burro/Hazard shuttle Saturday mid-day, like noon-ish? I've never ridden from Burro to Warner. Would like to get that under my belt prior to racing. I know the rest well enough.

Sick! There is a mandatory rider meeting at 3pm on Sat. Don't miss it.

Mr. AG, Wendy told me last week, but she seemed pretty sure. The 180 turn has apparently been worked on and its riding well.
