There's another bike packing race this year and it's coming up soon. I met the folks who put the route together this evening. It looks like a unique and interesting route across Nevada. http://www.transnevadatrail.com/comstock-epic-race/As of today 5 riders have thrown there hats into the 5/23 start. |

Hey there Blake! Glad to see you're on board with this race! For the past few weeks it was looking like it might just be Trevor and I going for it, but now we're up to 5 of us!

Great to see people are lining up. I was researching this for a while. Another cool race that presents some challenging logistics with regards to getting there and getting home after. Very interested. I got the updated gpx. Are there any cuesheets?

I had a similar trip planned last September, following the ADT Route that Rich Staley has ridden, West to East, but a broken collarbone took that off the table for me.
Trevor mentioned that he had some turn by turn cue sheets that he'd email out to us. I put together some small maps in Photoshop that I printed on 4"x6" photo paper. They're not super detailed, but general overview with water sources marked, and elevation profile. Those with the Route loaded on my Garmin should suffice.

I am not signed up for the race. Maybe ITT. I wanted to do some research and planning. If there are any cues, could I have access to them?

I'm sure Trevor would share the ques once they're available. His email is on the web site. |
