  1. If I can't suffer, I need to make sure someone else will! Not sure if registration is sold out... If it is, I'd like to donate (if that is possible) my registration for 81mi of pure bliss to someone in need. Still recovering from an injury and unfortunately (or should I say luckily) will not be able to make it this time.
  2. You asked if EB is too easy... why worry about how to add mileage if we can just add "trail features" like this.
  3. I am a big fan of Big Bend. Not all the riding out there is on single-tracks - quite a lot of it will be on double track jeep roads, but for me the remoteness of the place more than makes up for that. Having said that, there is still a tone of single track with all kinds of difficulty levels. If you prefer more civilization (which is a relative term out there), you can stay down in Lajitas and perhaps ride all the airport trails one day, day two could be the Sauceda Epic loop, day three dome loops, etc... The best way to do it, is to stay up in the park. There are many camp sites throughout, or you can even stay in the bunk house at Sauceda ranger station. Riding options are endless. If you do stay at/near Sauceda, ask for David - he lives there and can give you lots of good tips on current trail conditions, etc... My trips out there ranged from 1 to 5~6 days I believe. Shin and elbow guards along with heavy duty gloves highly recommended (lots of pricklies everywhere). Carry plenty of water for the entire day of riding (besides Sauceda resupply options are almost non-existent up in the park). If you decide to go there, I'll be happy to give you more detailed ride reports or share GPS tracks.
