Is that as in 11,200 feet of climb (in which case, chapeau) or are you
starting from 11,100 feet?

Somewhere in between:

Distance: 5.3 miles
Start Elevation: 9,080 feet
Highest Point: 11,142 feet
Total Climbing: 2,062 feet
Average Grade: 7%

H'mmm... looks a nice event. On that course a crosser should be a much
better bet than a full-on mountain bike - if it is all non-technical, as
they claim.

Yes, it's a well maintained dirt service road and the cross bike is
fine. It's just a question of having low enough gears as it's very
steep in places. For me, a 34-27 works well. The rest of the series is
pure MTB cross-country.

This weekend I am mostly organising a 400Km 24hour event across 7
mountain bike centres, with road bikes to link up between them.

How does that work? Are support crews shuttling the bikes from section
to section?

Why do you feel the need to hite your identity?

My identity is well known. I'm not hiting anything.

Why do you feel the need ignore direct questions?

Actually what I'm saying is that an anonymous ass doesn't deserve an answer.
Hiding only makes you less significant.

All the mountain bike sections (except the first) are loops. But yes,
teams then shuttle the mountain bike(s) to the next section by car,
while the baton gets carried on a road bike.

Morning had broken, and I found when I looked that we had run out
of copper roove nails.
