Bagstr 288 Posted February 4, 2013 C Daddy How would you rate this event on the Bullhead Scale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawdaddy 96 Posted February 4, 2013 C Daddy How would you rate this event on the Bullhead Scale? More sand.....some cool points of interest (Plane crash sites, Husky Monument, Whitehouse Saloon, etc.).....the hardways will include some rocky steps and some fun ridgeline single track in the Fremont range (similar to Bullhead ridgeline singletrack)......fun/nice group of folks (ride includes group BBTR lunch both days and dinner in Ridgecrest Sat evening).....check out last year's report/photos..... From the BTR event webpage: "There are easy and hard way trails so all skill level riders can enjoy this ride. The easy way will be 125 miles and the hard way will be 140 miles on Saturday. Gas and lunch will be 90 miles in Johannesburg. The easy way will be 100 miles and the hard way will be 115 miles on Sunday with gas and lunch in Johannesburg at about 30 miles out. Both routes will include a tour of the Rainbow Basin Scenic Area, a couple of military aircraft crash sites and ancient petroglyphs. The easy way will be sandy and rocky in some areas but not grueling like the hard way options, which will contain lots of enduro quality singletrack, steep hills, tight canyons, and ROCKS. The GPS tracks have nearly 500 points each so older GPS units that only take up to 250 points per track will be a problem. West Marine has the Garmin GPSMAP 78 on sale if you need a new GPS."
