Howdy all. I would like to ride the CC course, with someone who has done it. I expect to need 5-5:15hrs to do this, at a training pace. I'm really just looking to have the experience of riding the whole course. If your interested/ willing to help, I would appreciate it. I have Thur/Fri and all but Monday of the following week available. Send me a pm, let's do this! shawn
That sounds very fast to me, but I'm slow. I'd recommend biting off the course in chunks. The first ~half makes a nice loop; B* to Motorway. The second basically needs a shuttle. I'm not up to show the way right now.
I did that yesterday....was very warm out....and saw no other riders from just before 4 Corners to the bottom 3rd of LHJ. Gates were closed so it was very peacefull. However the heat brought out the bugs.....from Modjeska Peak to the top of UHJ, the bugs were horrible. Also, the poison oak on LHJ is growing everywhere.
I would be more then happy to help you train for this, just un able to do so = ) 5-5:15 for the CC Loop only, or Christmas tree lot- back to Christmas tree lot (shuttle?) ? I think you should always be fit year round to do this loop in a week notice, but that's just me!! I remember doing this from Christmas tree lot, CC loop and back to Lot. 54miles of killer riding, Good Times. M.
i know boss, you would have been a good training partner. you should hit up B.B., if you gonna be in the Vegas area, for a while.
Heck I'm just shooting for a sub 5 hr in the race. BS to Motoway 2-2:20 MS to MD 1-1:30 4C to top, 1hr or so, then down and out...45 to 1hr??
Shawn is not human, so his time is probably on par. He feeds off others pain, which rockets him forward. I would train with you shawn, but... screw it, no excuse, not my cup of tea. Good luck brotha!
