Emigrant trail
3 hours. Not exactly a finishing pace. Should be @ the coyote by 11.

You know you want it. This might be the only device that could make alpine starts tolerable.

OK, this is completely random…I was out at one of my field sites last week with a fellow from the Colorado air quality agency. He was using some EPA-equivalency equipment to audit one of my ozone analyzers. As we were setting up the gear, I was shocked right out of my shoes to hear that he’d read some of my BaconStrip entries; his name is Greg Harshfield and he is a known associate of JaphyRider. Who’d a thunk it?
Greg is a fine fellow and has helped us a great deal with our equipment and thus with our data quality control.

It’s that time of the year again folks. Time to shake the sand out of your vaginas and slather on the chammois butter for the Second Annual Great Mount Rose Loop Race.
Second Place Finisher in GMRLR07 VNasty is race coordinator for the year and here’s what she has to say:
OK. Sunday, August 10th @ 6:00 AM @ Brick Park, Reno, NV it is…and don’t even start with that I might not finish sh-t, we won’t get pass my house on Geriatric Pubic Hair Street with that attitude. I’m CCing Turner on this one. He might be into a longer ride like this? I’m trying to enlist a friend of mine from Truckee to join us. She’s a bad ass and is really hot as well-a fine carrot to chase down come hour number 10. If Dansmella wants to come up to the house for lunch that day she’s more than welcome. Smitty has agreed to be available for massages and lemonade delivery (not sure if that applies to you too?) I have only one small route deviation to suggest from last year now that I know the Sawtooth Trail system better. It’ll be a cleaner ride to 06/Northstar.
The route is over 100 miles and a shit ton of climbing. Other route mods might include riding to Martis Peak and down into Kings Beach on fire roads. Includes: Henness Pass, Emigrant Trail, Sawtoothe Trail, Tahoe Rim Trail (watson to brockway), Sky Tavern, Galena Creek, White’s Creek, Thomas Creek, Bartley Ranch…
