    Instead of going to Vegas we could just make it a loop.

    Make it a two day deal and you may have a deal. 1 layover in Boulder should do. gotta find some cx tires to mount on the 29er..... #-o I'll probably take Christmas tree pass(dirt road) instead of taking the 163 back into Laughlin! I haven't been on that road in years! Fantastic petroglyphs along the road to look at on that stretch.

    Believe me if you train for this, it's not all that bad. It will be hard but it can be done. Last year I did a triple in the Grand Tour. We had to finish within 24 hours and we made it with time to spare at 21. Pace is the name of the game. If you can find a comfortable pace and ride with others who can ride your pace 300 and 400 mile rides are possible. There's a lot of guys who do the Furnace 508 without even stopping!
