Has anyone done this event?? I'm thinking about it for '06 and would appreciate some feedback. Thanks for your time and help.
24 hours in the Old Pueblo.....
- Thread starter mantispf2000
- Start date
A whole bunch of us Monkeys did it this year. There are a couple threads on it. Just search on Old Pueblo.
I strongly urge people to do this even, nice course and very chill.
Yes! A bunch of us did it last year and despite the torrential rainfall, it was an AWESOME event and I would encourage you to give it a try. Also, don't forget to bring a leatherman or some other multi-tool with pliers...there really are a lot of cacti! 
Its a very fast course and this year even with all the rain I heard some bikers complaining that you didnt need any mountain biking skills. Running into the cactus can hurt pretty good plus leave you with a flat.

Well, it ISN'T a super technical course, but then, not a lot of 24 hour courses are. They are designed for the lowest common denominator.
I think Dalton, MA missed that memo.Heidi said:Well, it ISN'T a super technical course, but then, not a lot of 24 hour courses are. They are designed for the lowest common denominator.

Well, I wouldn't say you don't need any mtb skills, but it really isn't a technical course. It is a fast flowing course with some awesome tight single track and a lot of prickly cacti!Borregokid said:
Funny how every year we hear people whine about how the course isn't tech enough, but every year it's the only 24 hour event that sells out the race field a month before the race.Borregokid said:

I think there are two types of techy trails. Technical as in just tough to ride without crashing or putting your foot down and technical as in anyone can ride the trail but it takes skill to ride it fast. I'd say Pueblo was the latter. Hauling ass on the single track without eating cacti or having to use lots of brake and power takes da skillz.
