Re: Hey....?

Definitely! If I do it, it's the full 100.

The real question is, would I rather ride Maah Daah Hey or Kokopelli this year? Don't think I can do both.

Re: Hey....?

Hey...

Look what I found about the trail:

Length: 96 miles

Elevation: 2,000-2,700 feet

700 feet in elevation, how hard can it be?  Right?

Well, here's another view of the ride.

Riding the Maah Daah Hey Trails involves more than 160 miles and 13,000 feet of climbing and descending over remote, flat-topped buttes, vast grasslands, and wide-open cattle ranges through Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Little Missouri National Grasslands.

Survey Elevation:
Total Gain: 10366 ft
Total Loss: 10456 ft
Net Change: -90 ft

Much of the trail is formed from betonite clay, which makes for a fast and smooth surface. But this is no cakewalk: Riding the Maah Daah Hey involves more than 13,000 feet of climbing and descending. "You're in a constant state of up or down," says Nancy Morlock of Escape Adventures, which runs multi-day trips on the trail.

This site (http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1383290) has an elevation profile for 5 sections of the trail.  From this it appears to confirm that there is only 700 feet of elevation difference over the entire rider but riders go up and down that 700 feet many, many times.

Here's some picts.  Like I said, how hard can it be?

Wow, now that would be epic.  I tried to find a course profile but failed. Um, I wonder what they're hiding. :-)

Re: Hey....?

I might be up for the team relay option.  Always been curious about that trail...
