Its the gear range that is the limiter & then the bars when its super single track tech & steep.

Anybody heading south for RAT in Oct? Split costs if I can catch a ride to Texarkana. Planning on riding home from Tucamcari.

"Cutthroat"? Someone else is doing the cutting today!

JK's cadence & body language say it all.

The border. Look around the web. There are photos of folks at the official border sign.

Yep and the border has a gate? You stop? If two cats are jamming down the road, where do they sprint to? Internet photos aside, has there ever been a 'sprint' finish.

And boy if that holds, it'd be difficult not to draft & try to get a jump.

Sounds as though spectators will be at finish? Is there an official line?

Just leave the unneeded gear with someone to be mailed. Absolutely, I'd ditch anything not absolutely needed. "Hammer down"? I've raced 1 day 200s, and there is not much hammer left. I can't imagine day to day at nearly 200 per!

So for those that have done it, how much does knowing the course help in the last 3rd?

Neil Beltchenko has a vid of his setup over on bikepackersmagazine.com

And fyi, he has a Strava account with some pics.

May be a rookie, but safe to say he's seen some of the terrain...

One of Nick's bags used on a 300k point to point.

Nick built custom frame & saddle bags for me last yr. Great work!

Thanks Jon! Could use another...

I have an unused WTB Pure race off a 2014 Fargo. Any help?

I believe those are wider than 130 ish?

Aprox 135x270. An unloved saddle in a parts  bin somewhere?

My road kit w overnight motel stay gear. Nick of Rogue Panda Designs did this & framebag to fit my cross bike. Good work & nice guy!

$90?
