    Are there a group of riders going that arent burly dh's?

    I am still new to alot of this stuff. I hate to be the guy that holds up the group and really dont want to get in over my head.

    I have Santa Cruz Heckler and does quiet have the travel as you guys.

    As Denmo said, anyone who'd do the Mammoth trip would be interested in that event, and anyone interested in that event wouldn't be interested in riding fun stuff like at Mammoth. ;)

    Added to RSVP list.

    Even if I wasn't DHing, I wouldn't be at the 24hr race! :lol:

    Joking aside, i'm hoping to attend this... just need to figure-out ride and lodging details. Anybody carpooling and/or want to share a place?

    I had such a great time there this past five days, how could I not go? Oh, by having to be in Vegas on the Sunday... I'm still trying to figure it out.

    Anyone interested in a Mammoth weekend and a Sunday night drive to Vegas? Or anyone going from Mammoth to Vegas then?

    Rode it over the weekend. That wallride is badass. The build quality on that feature is top notch. The trail is short but sweet.
    The down side is that it takes quite a bit of pedaling to get back to the Gondola.

    Ok here's my dilemna, Im saving for a DH bike, and i know which one i want,... im nowhere near close, but im trying to justify if i want to go to mammoth and spend the extra money that could be put towards a DH bike... I may be up for carpooling, So if someone lives in L.A. county up for carpooling let me know and i can shoot you a PM, then i have to figure out lodging.

    let me calculate miles/vs millage

    looks like it would still be expensive 640 miles or so up and back
    I get around 10mpg towing a trailer
    64 gallons of expensive ass diesel
