The country beautiful, the people wonderful.  Rides long...8-10 hours, and pretty technical.   The only down side of the entire week was people signing up for rides that were beyond their ability, or putting along at a snails pace, or not wanting to get dusty and leaving way too much room between them and the people in front of them.  that really sucks for the rest of us.  

Hey folks from the mid-west, Florida etc.  If you don't know how to ride rocks, watch out...these rides are over boulders all the way on most rides.  Not a problem if you know how, if you don't....consider yourself a beginner, not an advanced rider.
