    Anybody else doing this? I just signed up. I did the road ride on the base last year. I always like to support the military charities. Hope to see a few others out there.

    Yep, that was my other option. I have a couple of my riding buddies doing that one, but on their gravel bikes. Thought about tossing some XC tires on the HT and chasing them around, but another riding buddy said he was going to do the Hellfire so I decided to go that route.

    March 18th is also the date for the Non Dot Whitting TT.
    It's decision time......


    Personally, I'm leaning toward Hell Fire because I never done it before. I'm going to hold off committing until I get back for True Grit.

    I can't speak about the Hell Fire, but I can say that the Marines really put on a nice event with the Camp Pendleton Century. There is nothing like having 6 Marines take your bike, tighten the loose part, and repeatedly call you "Sir"... All in under 30 seconds flat! :thumbsup:

    I think I'm in ... been wanting to do this one for a couple of years, but always had work conflicts. Did the road bike tour last year, and it was pretty cool.

    Can someone who has done this one before comment on the course? Trying to decide whether to do 15 or 25.

    It looked like they have been fixing some of the roads in that area this week, but if not be prepared. We have gotten hammered from the rains. A ton of the main roads on base are still closed due to slides and the smaller Jeep trails aren't any better.

    I looked again leaving work today and I saw some really groomed trails out there. I'm guessing they did the whole course.

    Lots of sand and fire roads in hell.

    Anyone doing this on Saturday? I am, my bike is not in XC mode with a 2.5 WT Minion up front and 2.3 Tomohawk on the rear but maybe that’ll be good for the sand. I’m only doing the 15 since I was invited and will be riding with an older dude who has titanium hips and used to play in the NFL.

    I was 50-50 on doing this again this year but decided to do the Strada Rossa this time around. Have fun out there, it’s a cool event.

    The dirt on base should be really grippy.

    FYI

    You will be dodging construction on the course.

    That will just make it more interesting. I actually didn’t intend on doing this one and didn’t have to pay for the event so just showing up for a good time!
