pics up from Landahl & the cat is out

well, the cat is out of the bag - yep, i'll be at 24 hour worlds and not moab. i have been debating it all year and my thoughts are mixed between worlds and moab and i'll leave it at that.



soil is super dry here which is great for now, but can be slick if the rain hits this weekend. the words stupid fast come to mind.



"xxx" danger spots are all over the course - some bad, some not. while others, are simply not really marked. they assume by you seeing the huge rock and then a drop off, that you know it dangerous.



ouchy - watch out for those pointy, sharp rocky things. these guys are all over the course. gription on the tires is good, but just dont hit them.


e
this is around the 7 mile mark, where the trail opens a little bit before the last single/double track sections. the next single track section follows a ridge line and has a ton of turns in it with a ton of rocks with little ditches inbetween. fun, fun.



last little open section before the finish. overall, very flowing course. not bad at speed, but if you ride it slow, it is hard to stay upright. better to go fast and float over some of the rocks then to go slow and hit every one of the darn things.

that's it for today - next post will be on sunday/monday with complete recaps and pics.

wish me good legs, huge lungs and clear skies.

sologoat out.
