    Course profile

    If you haven't tried a 6 hr or a 12 hr race....this is the right opportunity to try it.

    Usually a fun course, well marked, good atomsophere, fun people.



    I know after race #2 I said I was done with racing.....but now I am starting to get the itch again.

    If I miss it, will you let us know when the course is announced? I wouldn't mind a pre-ride this time.

    I'm planning on it... Going to work on my pacing and see if I can go the whole 12 hours this time. Mtnbikej graciously offered me space under his tent last time, but my wife hightailed it to the store, and came back with an easy-up. We'll have it up again if anyone needs a pit area. I won't promise that my wife will be there- something about the "call of the casino spa".

    So people in teams of 2... Each ride as much as possible, come in then the other guy goes? Then he comes in and so forth? I've never raced and am thinking about doing it, just to test myself since I'm not an xc guy.

    You can do it however you choose.

    Do 1 lap at a time
    Do 2 laps at a time
    Treat it as 2x 6 hr races

    Just as long as each racer does 1 lap.

    Sweet. Looks like I'll be signing up. Wrong bike for this but I'm sure it'll be fun/an experience.

    Keep checking back to the Socalendurance website when it gets closer, and they will post up the Garmin/GPS course.

    I'll probably be a 1/4 of a 12 hrs team.
    I'm planning to use my sister's RV, and make a weekend out of it.

    My current plans for the the next three months:

    Last race of OTH
    Non Dot - Oaks
    CC
    12 hrs of Temecula
    Non Dot - Caspers

    ..... then hopefully we'll have some snow this year for some winter fun.

    life has a tendency to get in the way ..... this week's OTH is in jeopardy.
    That's one of the reason I "plan" to do so many of them. Work and family eliminate the "week" ones.
    At this point I paid for the CC, I'll be there if I'm healthy and capable, the rest.....

    The better half is totally supportive of this (given that we have friends living in Temecula. with whom she can spend time) so this is purty much a definite will-do. I'm looking forward to it!!

    Obviously it goes backwards compared to the last race....also looks like the big climb comes towards the end of the lap.

    Distance and elevation are on par as well.

    Not sure how the 2nd climb is....we haven't been in that area at either of the 2 previous races.

    Looks like they are skipping the Bridges climb.

    Guess I'll have to go out and check it out.

    Looking at the course again.....looks as though we are climbing the bridges cilmb again, but going up to the right when we get to the fire road instead of hard left over to the ridgeline DH.

    Six hours is a normal weekend ride... I may bonk before 12 hours, but that will let me push the envelope a little further.

    Y'know, Steve, we can always do 7 or 8 laps on the FLoop. 10.6 miles and 1,000+ feet per lap. And you get to experience the world famous FLoop. It's closer than Temecula.

    Just sayin'!:):thumbsup::cool:

    That sounds an awful lot like a Herz excuse, J. :) Not that his excuses aren't totally valid - maybe you've got a cat that needs herding that weekend.

    It cracks me up when you make fun of the Floop when you've never even ridden it! I know it's just a trail around some houses nothing extreme but it's a place to get some miles in when your're short on time and you live right there... And I remember you breaking your collarbone on a trail that was just like it, wandered around some houses in Tustin/Orange, so you might want to just SHUUSH YO MOUTH!! :Roflmao

    Yup....that's what I get for following too closely on a new trail ridden at night. ....D'oH!!!!!

    And yes, I have ridden the Loop....more times than I like to admit. :speechless:

    You should probably stay that way too. You are much to good to be on that trail... :Roflmao Besides, she'll just break your heart.

    And now back to your regularly scheduled program..... "The Faustie and J Show!"
