    Looks like fun, but I already have plans that day and weekend. Plus, reflux is Vegas'd out after attending a bachelor party out there last weekend.

    OT: Have you guys ever heard of a climb called "Beat the Train" or something to that effect? I think it is, or was, in Arizona or New Mexico, but I can't seem to find any info about it.

    Thanks, and good luck!

    I'm not sure, but I think that race might be from Durango to Silverton in Colorado.
