Another b+ tire option 3.25.   http://goo.gl/jZTEw3

I seldom ride with a helmet other than when required by rules (racing). I've hit the ground a plenty, ten plus collar bones broken. I did manage to bang a tree with my head a few months ago and that was the first time in 10 years that I thought a helmet would have come handy. I make no recommendations & feel everyone of age should use their own poor judgment.
PS I don't wear shoulder pads either, but I could make a case for them.

How I could have fixed my Garmin in 30 seconds & not DNF:  Power off, Hold 'mode' & 'lap' for 5 seconds, pick you language & time zone.  All tracks & maps are now restored. Not sure about the current track as mine was already ended.
'lap' = 'reset' on many garmin models.

Put me DNF, Hanging 1/2 day tomorrow in Sedona, then heading back to flag.  IIC error (Idiot in Chair) loading track When it ran out I Thought I could nav by phone, but it was unworkable. Gonna come back & try solo soon.

I may have missed this somewhere, but What time at The Place is breakfast/start? time at Lone Tree & Butler? I do understand the start when ever & track my own time, but as noob I'd like the opportunity to ask lot's of dumb questions.

@ray would #2 just shift every thing around by one day? Is it even possible to contact everyone listed as racing? Are we talking pinon/juniper super mud?

Count me In, w/ gears most likely.
