I dont think anything can be that difficult for our Betas on this ride. It is a big bike ride after all!

That rocky section isnt too bad

The video was made by a very skilled South African videographer in South Africa for Mitas.

I have the route planned out for myself. I'm thinking the Adventure #2.Since I will only be riding Saturday that seems like the best choice for stopping at the Lava formations to take pics and fuel stop taking my time. This is my very first stab at adventure riding with a group. I hope there are a few guys I can join that want to do that loop. For this ride I really want to be able to take my time and have fun. The last big organized dual sport "event" (Big Bear Run) was brutal!! I practiced all the hard trails and hit the gym for a few months before the event. Day of the event I only made it less than 60 miles before bailing. Thank you Eric for putting together some really nice loops with options for bail outs. BTW, how are those rocky hill climbs near the lava tubes? Are we talking loose baby head? Or big boulders we have to lift our bikes over? Do I need to bring my block and tackle? I always carry various rope and 2 good carabiners just in case....
