I'll be there straight from work in the morning.
If I'm not there, I'm still working........

I soooo wanted to do this, but have to work in the morning with, no way out (can't call in sick - the boss knows about the race!). I'd have finished at the back of the pack, but it looked like a sick sort of fun and a nice challenge. Plus I never pay for parking at Whiting so I like that the proceeds go to the park (even if they do keep sanitizing trails: Now the overhanging tree is gone from Borrego).


Talked to last year's 2nd place finisher at 4 Corners a few weeks ago, and he says he's shooting for under 8 minutes this year. He pushes up that thing in the middle ring and 2nd or 3rd on the rear, while sitting all the way! That seems absolutely superhuman to me! If nothing else, I wish I could just watch to see how these guys & girls do it.

Good luck all!
Hope to be there next year.

That would be Manny "super human" Prado. 2nd in VQ this year and last year, 1st overall in 05 sprint classic. He's fast and he will get under 8 min. What I would do to be 20 years younger. The 8 min mark is the magic number, like the 6 min. mile back in the day.

I am the fastest on a pound/ minute basis

Yup, Manny's the man (not like we're buds - He's a friend of a friend). He was also 13th o/a in 2006 in the brutal 3-day La Rute de los Conquistadores.

What I would do to be 20 years younger.

Same here...and 20% lower body fat, like Manny!

I can't make it tomorrow (beach clean up with the kids) - where is the official starting point, I'd like to give it a try the next time I'm up there and see if I can double or maybe even triple the 8 min mark

[Pain Freak]

Good luck guys and gals. I feel sore just reading this. Manny and Mario and the like are a blast to watch, but even if I was 20 years younger I don't think I'd be able to do what they do.

[mazer75]

That's nuts! My hamstrings are quivering at the thought...

Good luck! Please post videos if any are taken!

It already happened today. Does anyone know the results? Did anyone break the 8 min mark?

I'll have some pictures up later this afternoon. I just got off of work! Stink'in holidays!!

I believe Manny won, with a time of 8 minutes even, but I could be wrong.

I showed up straight from work, and had a 14.48 minutes. I was pretty happy with that! No Stinky this year. I did it on my "light" bike. I road my 31.5 lb hardtail. And, I didn't even puke like I thought I would!!

Good Time Darin! Can't wait to see the pics. You bested your time from last year. I wanted to be there, I wish they could clone me so I could do 2 or 3 rides all at once. Congrats and good job to all who participated.
