Wish I could make it out there for this Rich, I'll be following along on Trackleaders... have a blast everyone!

That would have been fun! We could both have dressed like homeless people and made a fortune along the way!

Track Leaders has sent out 7 spot tracker rentals. They are suppose to be here by Thursday. We will be handing them out at Granny's Kitchen on Friday Morning before the ride. Please bring 4 AAA batteries preferably the lithium ones. You are responsible for knowing the operation of this unit since we are not good at hand holding!

Heck yeah! That's hilarious! As you remember the Arizonan's were certainly keen on trying to give me money based on my shabby appearance during the AZTR750!

And they're off!

Well I tried the beach loop this weekend with everybody else that was doing this non event. It was lots fun and I met some people and rode with them for awhile. But I was unable to complete the route. Between Lake hodges and ramona I was unable to keep any food down. I tried eat eat several time while I was in ramona. I hung out in several restaurants trying eat and hold it down with no avail. After about 3hrs I called it and call the wife to come pick me up. I ended up riding 145 miles. Only had about 30 miles to go to complete the route. Sunday I was finally able to eat in the afternoon. Back to work today. Still not 100% Anyway thanks rich for putting this on.

Date for 2016, Friday October 14th, 2016 to coincide with the full moon.

Will add desert loop to make it a three loop format.

Beach loop will be tweaked to add more dirt.

Mountain loop will stay the same except for starting out going down the Banner Toll Road vs. the Banner Grade.

ITT's open at any time. We will update web page and facebook page to have the latest loops. We hope to have the Desert Loop together by the end of November.

All these loops would make great multi day touring loops. The Beach loop gives the option of starting at or near the coast.

Any suggestions for route modification or additions are welcomed.

Going to do a springtime edition. Added a desert loop so we will now have a three loop format. Total distance of around 440 miles.
Date will be Friday April 15th, 2016.
