It appears that there is going to be a very informal last minute Coconino race going down next week. I was going to TT the route this weekend under Supermoon, but after sending a few emails, it seems that there are a few other folks interested in also doing it, namely Coconino thru-ride record holder Aaron Gulley and AZT300 record holder Scott Morris. So we're going to have a friendly little race, and I predict some very fast times and zero naps. If anyone else wants to join in for the fun, please do! Date: Thursday May 10 Time: 6 am (possibly 5 am?) Start location: Sedona (more precise location TBD) Direction: Clockwise For more info on the loop, go here: http://www.bikepacking.net/routes/coconino-loop/ |

Come on, Ez. You know you want to. My legs are thrashed from 3 weekends in a row of racing, but they just keep going apparently! I'm sure yours will too. Don't let LW hold you back  |

I know I want to, but I also want to eat a donut but I know that it'll give me terrible gas, so I'm not going to do it. |

the ridiculous thing, kurt, is you'd eat nothing but a whole box of donuts and still go fast all day. scott: SPOT sent me a replacement for my dead unit. i'll get you deets. couldn't believe how fast it came--took like two days.
definitely psyched to ride.

Any other takers for this one? Anyone want to start a pool on who's going to complete the loop first and win the box of donuts?  |

I'll make sure the victor gets a dozen, should they want them. I'd be willing to spring for a big milkshake instead, should the winner desire one instead. But if there's a tie due to late race hand holding, said milkshake must be sipped together through two straws |

BTW, donuts will not be provided to the winner until after I finish and have a chance to run to Safeway, so don't finish famished and immediately expecting to find your prize waiting for you at the, uh, finish line |
