So how long does it take for you guy's to complete the loop? I want to see what the fastest times are so I can compare and see where I stand amongst you fine athletic stallions. I also would like to see especially since I'm a newb at MTB'ing.

My best time is 55 minutes. Pretty sure I could go faster if I had a BIG ring!

I think Gene, Mp3, and a few others went to race Steven Jackson once for bragging rights and SJ kicked their butts. I think he finished in 20 minutes.

I'd rather be climbing...

I average about 50 mins for the loop. Genus can hammer it out in about 45 mins or so, though. One of these Thursdays I will make it out to the Loop @ 4 to see if I can keep up with him on his Pre-Loop.
However, times on the Loop can be a bit deceiving. There are instances when stop lights & street crossing can add a few minutes to your ride. Plus, there are several areas where you can add some extra credit sections which will also add time. Heck, heading up by the Summit House and cruising through the $5 million mansions can add at least 10 more minutes and a few more miles.

I think the main question that comes to my mind is:
Do you want the times with crashes, or without?.... |
