DesertNomad Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) There are 106 registered now and available spots are running low. If you are planning on riding this, but have not registered yet, might I suggest now is a good time? https://legacy.usacycling.org/register/2018-1939 We also have some jersey prototypes. The finals will be very similar. One version for each ride distance completed (1, 2, or 3 laps). Pricing will probably be around $75.

DesertNomad Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) The DragonSlayer is in need of a few brave volunteers to assist with things like set-up/tear-down parking control, registration, restocking water stations, etc. You will be fed something and given something to drink. I don't know what yet but should be tasty. Best of all, your help will be greatly appreciated. The event is November 18th and will run all day, though not everyone will be needed all day or all the time. I am looking for about 12 people. Post up a comment or message me or the page (https://www.facebook.com/EnduraRaceLLC/). Todd Denham (the 6-lap of the Dragon in 24 hrs ultra rider) will be in touch as he has agreed to be the wrangler of volunteers.

Albert Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looks great! Some inspiration to complete three laps. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not confident in three laps yet, but that's what I'm signed up for! Unfortunately, I have very little time for training over the next month. At least it should, maybe, perhaps be cooler! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I will be out of town that weekend, same thing that happened last year. I did do the Veggie Enchilada Buffet last weekend, but that's obviously no substitute for the whole thing. Maybe I'll try to do the entire EB beforehand. I just need to know the route, and especially the route through the Greenbelt. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoAmI Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Will the jersey be available in a mountain bike cut or just the road bike cut with the pockets in the back and an elastic waist band? Also, it would be badass in a long sleeve T-shirt. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have sizing demos available at the event to try on. Short sleeve jerseys only as we are trying to keep costs down. A t-shirt is in the works and a long sleeve option isn't a bad idea, but no promises just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back is the way forward at that point. Finish lap three. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back is the way forward at that point. Finish lap three. This is exactly correct and a great formula. I'll also add that once you get past the dam, no matter which choice you made (turn around there or not) you'd still have to go through 'a tough section of trail'. Therefore if you should just keep going forward! -CJB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
