The Trail - An Overview
In this section we will describe the 50-55 miles of trail to be used for each of the 10 days. It is our desire that these descriptions will assist both the participants and the spectators.
Actual maps will be forth coming. The trail will most likely use county roads, ranch roads, and private land. Very minimal riding besides paved roads will be used.
Each time we end a ride and are not at the next Race Village (Ride Camp), the options exist for the riders to stay there and travel the following day.
