I'm gonna have to quit registering for the pay rides early.  Already registered and payed up for the Mesquite ride on the same day.  Oh well...... there is always next month.

Not a monster, really, but taxing.  It comes about three miles after the turnaround, so you've had a chance to rest up.  One small hill on the way out is quite steep, but short enough.  Add a couple of wooden bridges, a stretch of loose gravel, and a couple of screaming downhills, and you've got something for everyone!  If I can do it on a trike, any of you guys can do it.
