D36 49'er Enduro Oct 24

[MikeJ]

I've rode this as an enduro in '98 and had a great time, even on my old DR350S. Tried again as a qualifer in '99 and dropped out after the first loop due to dust. It's an enduro again and I sent my pre entry in today. Is anyone else going?

I received my pre-entry packet today, 77c. I'm just wondering what the first c row is and how many rows back I'll be. If they don't get any rain it'll be tough to fight through the dust.

Look me up when you get there, I'll be arriving Sat afternoon, a red ranger pickup, a tent, and a DRZ400E.

There is message on the D-36 forum with the route sheet. Looks like gas is at 50.6 miles, and the finish is at 110 miles. Two resets each loop, so actual mileage will probably be a little less.

Just did some quick math and it looks like the first loop is about 44 miles and the second loop is 46 miles or sooner. I like how they never tell you when you'll finish but give you an open ended ending.

Just saw on the D36 site that the event is still in question. They went from too dry to too wet is one week! They'll update us Friday afternoon with more info.

Just got the news, the 49er is cancelled for this weekend. There is a chance of weather Saturday and there is snow on the higher elevation trails. The Polka Dots are looking at other options.
