DieselnDust Posted September 4, 2019 Share Probably similar to 2016 again. Not too much choice left since they moved to circular style course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted September 5, 2019 Share Pretty much a predictable outcome for the route. Not too excited about this one. It seems to get easier every year since 2008 J Wakefield, Cactus and Matchstix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmoun10goat Posted September 5, 2019 Share Pretty much a predictable outcome for the route. Not too excited about this one. It seems to get easier every year since 2008 Easier said from the outside...distance and elevation does not tell the story of the trail conditions. Technical, windy, corrugated, sandy, rocky all play a part. And with the quality of the pro field, cut offs get tougher and tougher to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical, windy, corrugated, sandy, rocky all play a part. And with the quality of the pro field, cut offs get tougher and tougher to make rubbish, more and more people are making cut off. Its just easier than it was in the past.Trail conditions are the same for everyone and its been a factor since 2004. Yes even the journey days had rough, sandy, corrugated, wind, mud, cold , heat. The fact is its shorter and with less climbing, therefore easier. J Wakefield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
