- Thread starter splat
- Start date
Sorry....Squirrel has dibs on me for this one (unless he breaks himself in the meantime LOL)MMcG said:Nobody wants to team up with me?
Thank you for the vote of confidence Mark. Sorry, I'm just not put together right for that kind of activity.MMcG said:
You could always sign up for the race and just go as far as you feel confortable. You never know until you try.
I'm thinking Chinese for the post ride feast. Not greasy amero-chinese but real rural China light fare. Thoughts?
romance? We're both serious considering ditching each other and doing it solodouglas said:
Anyone registered yet? I would love to get up there sometime in the near future to ride the course as well...to see what kind of torture I am committing myself to 
did you see the charge for camping? I wonder how it works for solo's? like can solo riders share a site?
On-Site Camping: $30.00 per team (includes up to two tents or one motor home)
On-Site Camping: $30.00 per team (includes up to two tents or one motor home)
I saw that and wondered the same thing. My guess is up to 4 solos could share a site with 2 people per tent. I am seriously planning on doing the 12 hour solo and wouldn't mind sharing a site with some otherdouglas said:

Douglas -
Thanks for your inquiries regarding the upcoming 24/12 hours of Pats Peak. To answer your
questions:
Yes, you may share a camp site with another solo rider(s)!! The limit is one motor home or two
tents per camp site.
Yes, the solo riders have a separate camping area, closest to the course for easy and quick
pit stops!!
Let us know if you have any other questions!! We hope to see you in July!

Nice! Thanks for figuring that all out.douglas said:
So, who's racing?
I have my camper set up at Keyser Pond Campground with my familly for that weekend. I plan on sleeping there with them on Friday then shooting over to set up whatever aid station is needed at the Ridemonkey compound. I will prepare snacks, fill water bottles, whatever support you guys need as well as prepare a midnight feast. Just keep me informed as to how many there will be and how elaborate you want the feed to be. Probably around $15 a person?
I can crash in the truck after.
Breakfast on Sunday is a can do also.

if youre still looking for a teammate id be willing to do it with you. if youre in a team already then i guess ill join the rest of the insane, i mean hardcore, riders in the 12 hour solo division.MMcG said:Nobody wants to team up with me?
Has anyone taken a trip up to ride the course yet? Sq-Earl and I are still trying to find a good time time get up there.
I'm trying to get up there tooTreeSaw said:
I may be up there June 17 but unsure right now
anyone reg'd yet?
Not yet. I want to ride the course first and I don't think Sq-Earl is planning on going anymore, but I would still like to.douglas said:
TreeSaw said:
Hmmmm.....I'm not sure if I want to do the 4 hour drive to preride it
douglas said:
If it's good riding, I don't mind the drive. Maybe I can talk to Heather and she can tell me what the course is like...I believe she raced it last year as well.
TreeSaw said:
:nuts:pats peak isnt too far from me so i might go up next weekend or the weekend after. it depends on whether im working or not and if the weather is good. ill try to bring a digital camera so i can get pics of it.
My sentiments exactly :devil:Echo said:

Here's the map from last year. I have a pdf file too, if you want me to email it to you. We raced there last year so if you have any questions let me know. There are 2 big climbs and 1 long downhill in the course. I think it is just under 4 1/2 miles long.

mogulskr said:

just not sure if thats good or not
and dont forget, reg $$ increases July 1.....I'm going to see how I do/feel doing 24 of adrenaline as a team, then decide if / what I'll attempt at Pats
mogulskr said:
Come on Join the party! A bunch of us have that same plan!
I pre rode Pats today . and I suffered greatly !! It was really really muddy ! But we did have torential downpours last night , lets hope it drys up some in a Month.
I did 2 1/2 Laps today , I quit on my third one , because all the mud was gunking up my drive train , and it was starting to rain HARD! so I bailed on it . My first 2 Laps no rain it only started raining just after I started a 3rd lap .
My first lap , Taking note/Pictures took me about an Hour
2nd lap about 50 minutes .
There is definatly some tough tough climbs ! I'll tell you next week if they are as tought as Daltons. I was surprised how much Down there was early in the course.
Any Way some Info
The Base is at an Elevation of 645 Ft ( the Pats marker )
the top of the first Big climb 994 Ft ( at the MOB marker )
The decent after the Mob Marker ends at 2.1 Miles into the course at elevation 850 ft
then the Big climb ! tops out at 1116 ft at 2.8 Miles into the course
followed by the Big decent which is Just under a Mile long at 3.7 miles and drops you back down to 620 feet. Then of course you climb again. but not as much I had the course in at 4.5 miles here is are 2 maps from the GPS track I did.
