    Now, now, I never said anything about psychotic. Sadistic crossed my mind but hey, more power to you guys. I'm impressed that somebody would do it once. Five times though? You should be working up to doing the Leadville 100. :thumbsup:

    Yes a couple extra 2-3 days with some destination stops would be the way to do it. My schedule wouldn't allow it.

    Yes there's quite a few ladies that do the ride. I fact there was one who had never ridden before but was conned in to it and she somehow finished. This isn't a race, it's an epic adventure. The technical stuff can all be walked and probably at least half the riders do walk it especially on day 1. This really is the best 3+ days of MTB schmack talk that ever existed. Come to think of it those guys owe me a steak dinner cause I never crashed like they all did on day 3 and I have the offer on video somewhere.:Roflmao.

    Oh dang we are more alike than I ever knew. In the last 25+ years I've taken a full week off for my honeymoon and then 12 years later I took 3 days for Kokopelli. That's it other than a few 3 day weekends. I say f*ck em lets ride...

    Holy smokes, I'd never survive. What happens to all your vacation time at work? Or maybe you own your own business? Even when I was working, I took at least 5-6 weeks off a year though not always a week at a time....and I spent my whole career working a 4-10 schedule so I had 3 days off per week unless I worked OT. Nowadays, I get stressed if I don't get out of town at least once a month.

    When I see bar ends like that I cringe. I just know that I would figure out a way to impale myself if I ran some.

    I would do this Kokopelli adventure, except that I won't. I am in awe of you that can. I just don't have the time to devote to the preparation.

    Humm, so where is this rule book? @-ROCKY-listen up! You ,we can learn alot after we find it. Sounds alot like the rule I’ve heard that there will be no spandex while riding a 6” bike of which I break on occasion, the rabbits and cyotes don’t seem to mind.;)

    That would be a cool commuter- maybe even better than the Trek you run now! Minus the bar ends, though. Is that yours?

    It belongs to my friend The Smeegies. He bought it new in the early 90s and kept it stock down to the original 26x1.95 knobbies. It’s the neatest bike I’ve ever ridden.

    o_O wtf...

    Currently I’m guessing it’s around $550.
    That covers all your meals (and they are pretty spectacular meals), kegs of beer, the last night stay at the RV Park, any maintenance labor on your bike in the middle of no where, plus they have a pretty good supply of parts if you brake somthin’.

    Well... If you want to skip all the guessing and estimating, I guess you could just go to the website and pull the actual number. That's one way... :D :p :oops:
