    I'm not sure about the event, sorry? But this new fire in Devore makes me wonder if Wrightwood will not be the latest forest to burn? Soon there will be not much left! Really makes me want to move! We are in some real danger when the Santa Anta winds come! See what it is like already!

    I'm not getting the notified. I didn't know there was a fire burning in the area.

    I'm interested but I guess more just to ride there because I haven't. I'm not sure I have the legs for the full route or will have time to train. The last few months have not been generous to ride time. :-/

    Is there a Strava or Garmin route from the previous one? Would like to see what it was like. Sounds pretty cool though!
    Glad Wrightwood didn't get burnt down last week!

    Garmin Connect does strange things to elevation... It told me the RSR was over 14,000. o_O

    Hmmm......did that area burn last week?

    Never ridden up there.

    Might be heading to CO. in October, just don't know when yet.

    Always up for new dirt....and it looks like we could actually do it anytime. :thumbsup:

    Edit: Signed up. I'm nuts.

    The reports say it's 50/50 between fire road and single track, so I'm thinking the hardtail will be the weapon of choice on this one. There are also 5-6 spots with water on the route... @bigringrider101 did it with 2 bottles on the bike, I believe.

    That would be most excellent....the thought of running a pack that far makes me cringe.

    I read 25 miles of single track! Hopefully, some of it's downhill. :laugh:

    Talking with @bigringrider101 yesterday, he is also signed up for this one. I did hear him say that this was not a ride for his 7-bottle hybrid bike, as the trails can get pretty gnarly. @StrandLeper- Are you still interested in this one? It's self-supported, but I'm thinking the more company, the better out there. It sounds brutal... Berni classified it as a lot harder than the Pioneertown 50.
