Mesquite Rodeo 75K

I did the 75K instead of the 100 since I wasn't sure how well I'd do however everything went fine. Easy registration, well marked although someone needs to seriously repave every road east of Mesquite.

The bad roads is one of the reasons I didn't do this ride. Looks like they didn't slow you down.

At least the bad spots were marked but I'd say the last 10 miles or so was full of them. Other than that it was a fun ride

I did the 75K and did not have a problem but there were places where a large pack could have problems
