I didn't ride the ride and can't talk about the marking or how difficult =
the trail was except to say that with the first 12 riders finishing in 6 =
hours or less-it must not have been too bad. In Arizona and New Mexico =
there are several 50/55 mile rides where the 'hotshoes' who are racing =
each other do not finish in under six hours and several top tens are at =
7 hours.. You can be sure that you won't be having lunch in base camp.
