Given my record on the Divide, I will amend my entry to a "+1 for 2009 DNF list"

Where did you read GPS was banned?

"21.1 During the Ride to Freedom Challengers are restricted to the use of traditional forms of navigation. This includes time, distance as known or measured on a map, speed as is computed with simple arithmetic and direction as indicted by magnetic compass and GPS.

21.2 Other electronic or mechanical devices that measure speed and direction are prohibited, i.e. Loran, night vision goggles."

Also, this race doesn't sound "self-supported" to me.

Tentative +1

What a brutal early season.  Fontana, Nova, weekend off, AZT, and Sea Otter... I guess I won't be making it to Sea Otter this year
