A word of warning...

The spirit of this ride is light hearted and goof-ball as all get-out, BUT it's also a serious endurance adventure ride. For the Major & Minor Devastation Routes, if you haven't done a long hard gravel endurance ride, this is one hell of a way to start. Some parts of the course are pretty straight forward, others are hard to spot and difficult to ride. The course will not be marked! On the Major Devastation Route there are places where you'll swear there is no trail at all where you'll have to go bush whacking through. There may be snow on the Day Mt Spokane Road climb as well as the portion of the Kit Carson Loop we'll be riding. Just Hope I don’t figure out how to include John's Amend’s Swamp of Doom in this thing!

Anyway, NOW is a good time to get a dropper post from your LBS.
