Looking forward to photos from your adventure as well!

Pictures coming! I didnt take any, but there are photographers throughout the race. It just takes them a couple days to post them.

Wait, I lied. I took two photos showing our friends where we were camped lol

Looks like fun! There was a big event going on where we were this weekend as well…..the group that I towed the bikes back invited us to stay and have dinner at their camp but we were ready to put some miles down. Driving the support vehicle was pretty technical so it alleviated some of my disappointment of not taking the monkey.

That was nice of them! Bikes are just too much fun. More events please.

Driving a truck on backroads can be a challenge. Must be precise on some areas for wheel placement, etc. and so slow compared to being on a bike!

There are videos of the old blue Suburban piloting all the riders to the start line from over 40 years ago. Tradition I guess. Here’s a video of the parading of bikes to the start line about a mile down the road. I was only 20 or so bikes in behind the Suburban, wasn’t waiting for that huge group! 1500+ racers this year.

My truck did really well on most of the trails…..I could’ve gone much faster had I not been dragging the empty trailer and I was able to do most of it in 2WD
But on the roughest part I only averaged about 8mph

I started following it but was just watching for nefarious activity so I could rat you out and get a gold star.

I can’t help myself I am a compulsive never break the rules snitch.
