I plan on doing the FMD 

It's official, I'm do'n the entire route or at least riding and camping for two weeks.

Really?
I think I'll stick to drinking my water.

Some of us ran to the shelter of the Hilton,while you were out braving the storm.

Guess I better find out where all the back country Hilton's are?

Holy $#!+
Guess it's gonna be a little different than riding in Tucson!

The dinotte's are great lights if you can afford them, but if you want the most bang for the buck, go with EOS.

I'm not sure they even carry anything in your price range?   (under 100.00)

I say go with the EOS, it's great light system for the buck.
You can pick two up for right around 100.00
I've been running them for 9 months and have no complaints(one on the bar one on the helmet) 

 Read Personal set ups and trip reports 

Can't make it till Sat. would like to go for drinks and get some info that night?

Rob looks like we have the same plan(7 days) I might take you up on the room for sat night?

I'm in, excited, nervous, ready for the adventure of my life!!!  I can hardly wait...I wake up in the middle of a dead sleep thinking about it

yep,
you just summed up how I been feeling!

 I'm in
Got my rain gear
Got my vacation approved
Now if I can find my legs

I'm looking to carpool from Tucson to Denver, as of now it looks like I'll roll out of Tucson on the night of 7/30  in a rental car. Then all I need to do is make it to the start on Sunday and then pedal on over to Durango to get another rental car and be back home by 8/12
 well that sounds easy enough
Guess I should make sure I can rent a car in Durango?

this looks awesome!  pencil me in, I was thinking of making the 300 my first ultra but thats still a long way off.....  and I'm still riding a high from my little bit of colorado trail and itching for more :-D

Do you work for Carson middle school?

Rob come do it Aug 2 

Gracias. I will be doing the 200, SS also. Might get a suspension fork between now and then.

Looking forward to this race, possibly one of the best races I have ever not finished...

why don't you just go ahead and put some gears on it

I think I'll give the 200 a try should be some great training leading up to the CTR!
